Ohuhu Mix Media Pad - 8.3"x8.3" Mixed Media Art Sketchbook, 120 lb/200 gsm Heavyweight Papers, 78 Sheets/156 Pages, PU Hardcover Mixed Media Paper Pad for Acrylic Painting Christmas Gift

Absolutely love this sketchbook. The paper quality is great not super thick or thin there’s a little bit of bleed through, but that’s totally fine since it comes with a paper protector. I love the hardcover design; it feels sturdy, solid, and high-quality. The black cover looks sleek, and the added pocket in the back is super handy. I also appreciate the perforated edges so you can easily tear out pages if you want to. Can’t wait to keep drawing and filling it with art!

I have DOZENS of different sketchbooks because I am very, VERY picky when it comes to sketchbooks. I have so many where I just do a few pages and abandon them. I was afraid to try the Ohuhu sketchbooks since they’re a bit pricey, but no more so than something like a Strathmore Mixed Media, and definitely cheaper than something like an Etchr. Since I absolutely LOVE Ohuhu markers, I decided to take a chance. I’m only about 10 pages into this one and already ordered another one! BEST mixed media sketchbook I’ve tried so far! Look, you’re never going to find a “perfect” mixed media sketchbook, because different media will work differently on different papers. It’s extremely unlikely that any company will invent a paper that can work equally well with alcohol markers, water-based markers, pencil, charcoal, watercolor, acrylic, gouache, etc. But this is the closest I’ve ever found. It has a nice tooth that takes graphite and colored pencil well. Alcohol markers blend nicely on it with minimal patchiness. Water-based markers are slightly streaky, but they are on nearly any paper. It can handle wet media fairly well because the paper is pretty thick. You can’t use a TON of water on it without it warping, but it handles light washes like a champ and medium washes with just slight warping. Same for gouache. Watercolor pencils work BRILLIANTLY on it. Paint markers like Posca and Arrtx don’t pill the paper and look smooth on it. I will still keep trying different sketchbooks because I enjoy doing so, but this one is HANDS DOWN the best one I’ve found for an all-around mixed media sketchbook. I’m abandoning my old favorite, the Strathmore mixed media, because Ohuhu is cheaper, has more features, and works better, IMO. And I LOVE the square format! This just keeps proving to me that Ohuhu is the very best company for beginner to intermediate artists, period.

I love this book. First, it is hardbound and heavy. It’s not a throw in your handbag book. But, the pages are perforated so you can easily remove them. The paper is heavy enough to withstand watercolor and gouache and smooth for ink drawing. 120lb/200gsm. And, I didn’t notice this in the description, but there is a plastic (?) divider so you can use alcohol markers without bleeding onto the next page. And it opens flat enough. It also has a ribbon to mark your page. Very happy with this purchase.

Book has decent weight to it and includes a vinyl sheet so there’s no bleed through. Very sturdy and well made book! Love it!

I have so far used this for heavy watercolor color or gouache paint practice and it has held up really well. The paper has a nice thickness and texture making easy for me to sketch or paint whenever. Overall a solid sketchbook for an artist or creative alike.

Better than expected. Great price. Excellent quality. Paper accepts and enhances any media.

This, by no exaggeration, is THE journal I have been looking for.... for months now. The paper is completely different than most (including ohuhu's other journal just meant for markers) and is perfect for light (non-professional) watercolor art works. The water itself is absorbed in perfect time to be able to spread the color and it leaves a satisfying yet natural looking texture after dry. I will 100% be getting another one of these after I run out of the one I just received. My only complaint is that the spine could be slightly more reinforced with something to make it bend around less and feel a tad less fragile. It does NOT, by any means, come apart on you... it just makes me a bit nervous sometimes XD. I feel like the dimensions and page count are also perfect because in many watercolor pads, journals or sketchbooks I have received before, there are only about 25 sheets and each page feels too precious to use. The dimensions are perfect for sitting it on a small desk, in your lap, or basically anywhere else. I'm planning on using mine possibly for some on site urban sketching and it seems like it will be perfect in almost every way.

Honestly top 3 sketchbook i love it its great for markers and paint among all other mediums

この値段では枚数が多いのが嬉しい。サイズはA4よりひとまわり小さいくらいで描きやすい。 水少なめの不透明水彩で練習に使います。

アクリル、パステル、油性色鉛筆、ジェルメディウムでコラージュ、 ミックスメディア用だけあって使いたい画材が問題なく使える。 鮮やかな色もスモーキーな色も発色が良い。 200g厚ながらマスキングテープにも十分耐える。 マステを剥がす時はドライヤーで熱を当てながら剥がすと綺麗に剥がれる。 薄い付属下敷きの上に紙を一枚プラスして下敷きにすると敷いた紙がよく吸水し今のところ他ページへの影響なし。 キャンバスや板材はハードル高いけどカジュアルにちゃんと作品を描きたい日、そういう日にぴったりのスケッチブック。

Es un excelente libro para arte

I have a sketchbook obsession and would always buy any kind of sketchbook (even when I haven't even started one. I know, I have a problem). I love trying new brands and kinds of sketchbook. I'm on a forever journey to find the perfect sketchbook So far, I've used Moleskin, Talen's Art Creations, Canson XL, Aartx, Arteeza, Leuchtturm, Artist Loft, Dollarama brand sketchbook, Wal Mart brands, and Strathmore. While many of them are great in their own way (and that the PERFECT sketchbook may never exist), I find Ohuhu Mixed Media to be my favorite. It is tied with Strathmore Mixed Media because I find the paper in those two to be quite similar in terms of thickness, though Ohuhu does have less texture than Strathmore. Also it is more affordable and has more pages so I say it is more worth it IMO. I love Strathmore but it is very pricey (I only buy it whenever Micheal's gives out 50% coupons) You can use watercolor in this sketchbook but not heavily. Alcohol markers do bleed but since it can support Acrylic and Gouache, you can just use those to cover the bleeded page :) Overall, I really love this sketchbook.

Es un sketchbook que sirve para técnicas secas, acuarela no sirve mucho para esta técnica, y con plumones no lo he probado. Pero están gruesas las hojas. El color se ve super bien.
