CANSON Graduate Book schetsboek, dubbelzijdig: generfd en glad, 220 g/m², hardcover, 14 x 21,6 cm, natuurlijk, 65 vellen

Quality of paper was good. But the paper was more yellow than expected and between pages the binding seperates.

Lo sto usando con sanguigna e gesso nelle facciate ruvide e con inchiostro e acquerello nelle facciate lisce. Anche se uso una discreta quantità di acqua, i fogli non si deformano. Una cosa che ho apprezzato è che anche le facciate lisce presentano una leggerissima grana. I colori, sul fondo ocra, acquistano un aspetto vintage che a me piace particolarmente.

J ai hâte de l utiliser

The peeling cover didn’t bother me as much as the paper does. It’s not bad but I don’t recommend it at all if you use pens or markers, the paper sucks the ink and it’s just very unpleasant to use fineliners. But for brushes, pencils, inks and paints im sure it would be grand cause one side has a pretty smooth texture and the other side is much more rough (like the one on the picture) and the paper is pretty thick to handle some more water than your usual sketchbook would. Overall it’s not a bad sketchbook, for the price it is but I personally hated a lot of aspects of it.

The images speak for themself. I've had it for less than 3 months. And I can say that I'm careful with my things. I am satisfied with the quality of the paper. But the cover... The cover is terrible. It started peeling in the first few days and is now in a terrible condition. Next time I think I'll consider the extra euros and buy Moleskine, which has never let me down.
