Strathmore product review

Visual Journal - Mixed Media

Weight: 90 lb (190 g/m²)
Surface: Vellum

Medium-weight paper is great for wet and dry media including watercolor, acrylic, pen and ink, pencil, crayon, charcoal, marker and collage. Acid free.

So, I have been working on this series of watercolor pieces and I am trying out Strathmore's new Mixed Media Journal! So far the results have been great! Take a look!! Just remember that these are works in progress!

The first three are a gift for a friend and the last three are in honor of our newest member of the family- Bronte the Basset Hound!!
