Canson XL Series Mix Media Pad 11" x 14"

Great size paper. Good weight. Durable. Good price.

I draw every day and post to the internet. I love the quality of the paper. I use ink pens and there is no, to little smear. The pages turn easily with the spiral binder, don't jam or tear. The price is right too. They are my go to pad.

Great quality for the price! I use for pencil drawings and watercolor. Love the side wire, keeps all my artwork in one place; the paper is great for quick watercolor portraits and sketches (without too much water) and detailed pencil drawings

My daughter is an artist and this is the only paper she will draw on because of the outstanding quality. I’ve found that Amazon has the best value.

The quality is very good. My kid loves it!

Good for sketching and drawing. Paper is thick and great quality.

Buying this on Amazon instead of in the local craft stores saved me a couple of dollars - even with the coupons or sales. Medias I have tried: Acrylic paint - I have made a few color mixing charts which is juts small squares of blended colors of acrylic paint. The paint sticks to the paper well, but if you look at the back of the page you can see the distortions and warping from the moisture of the paint. I haven't decided if I am gutsy enough to do an entire painting on this paper. If I do, I will tape it down to help prevent warping. Water colors and water color pencils - I am lumping this together since it involved adding a lot of water on top. This performs pretty well for these. But, again we have slight warping of the paper. It seem to work much better than standard card stock out of the package when using with water colors - significantly less warping. If you are applying a small amount of water colors you will probably be happy. If you are doing a lot and trying to layer up we, just buy watercolor paper. Taping it down should help as well. Pencils and colored pencils - This works great for these dry medias! I also tried it with standard ball point pens and was happy. Water based markers - I used some random target brand marks, Crayola, and Stablio markers on this paper. I liked how it worked. Again, like the other wet medias if you soak the paper with wet it can warp. But, its thick enough you shouldn't have any bleed through. My Stablio markers are super fine point and I use them for drawing and loved them on this paper. But, I am happy with them on most paper. The thicker school supply type markers performed pretty well as well. Overall, if you need a multimedia pad or sketch book, this will keep you happy! If you are looking for use with a specific media, you may want to look into pads formulated for those specific medias. And, with the awesome prices on Amazon, I will be back when I need another one of these.

This is my favorite paper. I have adopted it as my go to sketchbook. I use different media including watercolor, water activated crayons, colored pencils, etc. It has held up for everything so far. The paper that has a lot of water used on it gets kind of wrinkly but that could be fixed by setting something heavy on it i think. I really like the size because it's big enough for anything I want to draw and i can easily split it into 4 or 6 smaller sections for times i don't want to use the whole page. The texture is nice for colored pencils and the paper is a good thickness. The only ink that ive had bleed through is alcohol ink.

The paper is nice and it works well for sketching and watercolour, i havent tried acrylic on it yet but im sure it would be fine. The paper does bend a little when you apply water based products but not too much so its not too bad. You can tear out the paper which is nice but i havent done that because I prefer to keep all my work in one place. Overall its a nice sketchbook and its easy to take with you in a bag.

Was a gift, my friend loved it!

Hace unas semanas pedí este producto para un trabajo escolar. Lo pedípor el hecho de que es para técnicas mixtas, y por el precio supuse que así sería. Cabe mencionar que yo hace unos años ya había comprado uno de esos blocs pero de un formato más pequeño. Entonces ya tenía masomenos una idea de cómo debería sentirse el trabajar con él. Y pues no, las hojas eran de una calidad pésima,ocupe una técnica líquida y parecía como si hubiera mojado una cartulina normal,se veían horribles las manchas y se que no fui yo porque llevo años usando acuarelas jamás me había pasado eso con otros papeles, siendo que este se supone que debería aguantarlo. Ahí fue cuando lo comparé con mi bloc antiguo de ese mismo material y me llevé la terrible sorpresa de que empezando por la caratula que era muy diferente, el tipo de papel a simple vista se notaba diferente y ya tocandolo se terminaba de confirmar. No lo compren, a mi me vieron la cara pero espero que ustedes no tengan que pasar por eso. No sé que producto les vendan en EUA pero aquí en México me llegó un papel que voy a tener que usar solo para técnicas secas porque no fue lo que decía en la descripción y no quise pedir el reembolso porque me sale igual de caro el envío a EUA. Mi dinero y tiempo se fueron a la basura.

Ti promette che puoi usare acquarelli,acrilici, gouache, penna e matite e mantiene la sua promessa alla grande! L'ho testato con lavori abbastanza impegnativi così da vederne quanto si può spingere e sono rimasta sorpresa, la qualità è strabiliante, l'aspetto del foglio non molto spesso ti inganna perchè quando ho usato gli acquarelli ha mantenuto benissimo l'acqua, non si è mai rovinato mentre dipingevo, insomma fantastico. L'ho comprerò di nuovo subito appena finisco questo che ho preso, ve lo consiglio!!
