Strathmore Visual Journal Mixed Media Vellum 9-inch x 12-inch, 34 Sheets

I’ve had so many of these journals in both sizes over the years. As a mixed media artist, I like a substantial paper that can take anything being thrown at it: acrylics textured and layered, acrylic ink, collage, stamping , stencilling and so on. It takes watercolour, but loses the saturation and brightness, as it’s not watercolour paper. I tried image transfer and that also worked well. The spiral binding works well, as it lies flat whilst working. Would hugely recommend.

An excellent product with fast delivery. This Strathmore Visual Journal was just what I was looking for - a good quality, mixed media, hardback art journal. The book is a good large size. The paper is thick and has taken a variety of creative media including watercolor pencils, felt tips, permanent brush tip markers, graphite pencil and glued in papers. So far there has been no bleed through to other pages and I am very impressed with this journals ability to take a good amount of water with little buckling. The ability to use plenty of water when blending my watercolor pencils was an important aspect to me in finding the right journal. I am very pleased with this product.

This journal is exactly what I was looking for. The paper quality is excellent, beautifully smooth and will lend itself entirely to the use I wish to put it to. The journal came on time, securely wrapped so it arrived undamaged. 68 pages of bliss what more can I ask for. Very pleased with this purchase would highly commend the seller for speedy, secure supply.

Excellent quality cardstock within- takes wet very well and all other media i use. Gelatos - acrylics- mod podge - collage paper use- fabric gems etc etc. Under front cover is lovely dark brown marled effect cover front and back. Thick cardboard and very glossy making work durable and safe. I have had other notable brands before as large art journal but this is the best so far. I love the ring binder as central binding as it gives work a flat base either side to use both sides of the paper. LOVE IT and you will too......pricey but then so are all the others of note.

Great journal with lovely paper delivered quickly. Thank you.

Havn't tried out yet but looks perfect for mixed media. Large A4, strong spiral bound and good hard cover. I will definately order it again. Delivety was fast too.

These books are tough! I have thrown all my favourite media at this paper - watercolour, (though it's not my personal favourite for this particular medium), stamping, stencilling, embossing, gelli plate printing with acrylics, collage - and it takes it all without excessive buckling and without bleed-through. The ring binding allows each page to lay flat freely and also makes it simple to remove a page should you want to. Overall, an extremely versatile journal and one I think I will always have to hand in my 'stash'. Fast delivery, too, thank you.

Perfect quality paper, I have been able to create lots of mixed media pieces. Is great for graphite and painted images - I have even had success with water colours. I will be purchasing another!

I’ve used countless Strathmore Visual Journals over the years, and they remain my go-to for mixed media projects! The paper is simply wonderful—its heavy 140 lb. weight and slightly textured surface handle a wide range of mediums beautifully, from watercolor and acrylics to ink, collage, and markers. It holds up well to layering without warping or bleeding, making it perfect for experimenting with creative techniques. The spiral-bound design allows pages to lay flat, which is a huge plus for working across spreads, and the sturdy cover protects my work. With 56 pages (28 sheets) in the 9x12 size, it’s a great balance of portability and workspace. Some wet media may cause slight buckling if applied heavily, but priming with gesso solves that easily. The paper’s versatility and quality make every project a joy, whether I’m sketching or creating intricate mixed media pieces. If you love mixed media, this journal is a must-have—highly recommend!

Great solid paper/journal, the "visual journall" design cover can be removed if you want, there's another solid plain cover right underneath it.

Ich nutze Aquarellfarben, Gouache, wasservermalbare Pastellkreiden uvm. Muss allerdings sagen, dass ich kein super sauberer Künstler bin, ich mag es etwas wild. Daher kann ich nicht sagen, ob das Papier für sehr 'genaue' Arbeiten gut ist.

Fantastic value for money- the pages are thick and have great texture. Marker and water color don’t bleed through. Note: I wish there were perforations for clean tearing out, but I understand it’s meant to be a journal.

Llegó sin ningún problema y en perfecto estado. El papel es de los mejores que he probado, es 100% algodón y no traspasa más que el marcador de aceite tipo Sharpie. Sólo tiene 34 hojas pero lo comparé con varios de otras marcas de alta gama y si conviene, recomendado.
