Customers praised this mixed media pad for its versatility with pencils, watercolors, and inks. Reviewers highlighted "very good quality," no bleed-through, excellent perforation, and great value. The paper works "beautifully" for collages and card-making. Some noted it's adequate but not ideal for watercolors compared to specialized paper.

  • Pencil and water colour and FW inks all work beautifully.
  • Despite heavy ink usage, the other side has not one sign of bleedthrough.
  • The perforation is excellent, holds together well, yet is super easy to tear off cleanly.

My New Favourite Large Format Multimedia Sketch Pad

I used to get another brand (more expensive) in a size no longer available, so I gave this a try on recommendation from the staff. It's excellent. The size is perfect for what I often use it for (folding in half to make greeting cards.) The paper is a bit thinner than the other brand I used, but it is still plenty thick, in fact I prefer it a little thinner, folds easier but is still plenty sturdy enough. And so far, no bleed thru (using ink pens, and water-based brush pens.) The paper is has a good brightness, not glaring, but enough for good contrast. Also, the perforation is excellent, holds together well, yet is super easy to tear off cleanly. The backing paper board is very thick and sturdy. AND the price is super good!

Good for pencil sketching

My daughter handed down this mixed-media pad to me. I like it for pencil sketching, and for practice doodles which I have to do a lot of! For watercolour pencils and watercolours, this paper is okay but not as good as watercolour paper.

I bought this product from Opus downtown Vancouver. It has serves as my back board for collaging. I am really happy with it's functionality for mixed media collages. I would recommend this product to anyone serious in mixed media collages.

Favourite sketchbook for all types of media

I use these for collage, ink, pencil, and charcoal. It’s an especially nice convenience that pages can be removed without any tearing— they come out with a clean line.

Worth the price

The Canson XL is absolutely massive in size and allows for plenty of free space for good sketches and inkings. The paper quality is top notch. Despite heavy ink usage on one side of the page, the other side has not one sign of bleedthrough. Solid paper if you are willing to spend the money on something good.
