I’ve been using Ranger sketchbooks for YEARS and they are hands down the best multimedia sketchbook you could ask for. I’ve made a few scrapbooks for friends and family and have personal sketchbooks. I’ve used watercolors, acrylic, paint markers, alcohol markers, and pens and there is little to no bleed through. The paper is thick and smooth. Great for doing full page spreads. I still have a sketchbook from 5 years ago and even from flipping through it hundreds of times, the pages have remained intact. I love these and recommend them to everyone, even above Strathmore! Worth your money. I love this brand!

I actually purchased this journal to use as a sketchbook that will work nicely with Posca pens and acrylic markers with rough textured nibs. Many acrylic marker artists use cardstock instead of regular mixed media paper because it's smoother and heavier. This way it's less likely for the markers to scrape up the paper / pill. It's hard to find a sketchbook that can withstand Posca markers that checks all my boxes but this one does. I think this journal will be perfect! I like the hard cover, lots of pages, and envelope inside as well. Really nice for under 20 bucks.

I'm a mixed media artist, I've been using all of my supplies in this journal, it stands up to them all including watercolor and posca without bleeding through. Nice thick pages that are smooth. Cream color pages help out with the white page nerves. I've been sealing soft pastel paintings with airbrush medium. No problems with pages sticking together. Perfect size for capturing landscapes. It lays flat, very minor struggles painting in the ditch. If I could give more stars, I would.

wonderful format for journalling or mixed media. tolerates some water, not cotton based paper though

Have used the Ranger Dylusions creative journals in all their formats for many years. The heavy weight paper, the flat lay, the pocket to save collage pieces or paper memories from travels to enter or include in my artwork .....all of the things!!! I also love the red binding on the interior the elastic closure for the outside and the Kraft paper cover....LOVE IT ALL....!!!!!

I like this book as the pages are thick, but does not take wet on wet well. The pages do buckle with a light wash. I haven't seen any bleed through so far. I like the cardboard cover making it sturdy and the inside pocket is nice. The paper works well with fountain pen or felt tip like Micron. The problem I have as others have stated,the binding does not hold up well. I have been using the A5 portrait for a couple of months with pencil,ink and watercolor, and I already see the red binding appear between the pages. There is no rough use just the normal flipping through pages to review my artwork. The pages seem to be spreading apart,showing the red binding, but at this point are still attached. As stated,only a few months. I picked up this sketchbook at a artshop in WA while on a holiday as a last minute option. I think this book would be great for junk Journaling or pen and ink sketching. It wont hold up with heavy marker or watercolor use. Durability is certainly not there.

I use it for an art journal and to try out new things from a class I'm taking online. The paper is nice. I put gesso on the pages first and then use mixed media - acrylics, inks, collage. The paper buckles a little bit, but I like that. My journal gets kinda fat and I love it! I like the pocket on the inside cover and the elastic band. You can decorate the cover too and really personalize it. I will buy again....lots of pages to fill before I need another one.

10 out of 10 for anybody that is a mixed media. Highly highly recommend
