Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

The ARTEZA are the smallest sketchbooks on our list, making them ideal for traveling. The spiral bound notebook has perforated edges for easy removal and the thick, acid-free paper works with pens, pencils and pastels, boasting minimal bleed-through and fading.
-
Nice texture, worked great with everything I tested it with.

What reviewers didn't like

Customers note that the ARTEZA are better suited for beginner artists and find that the flimsy cover means the book can easily be crushed in a backpack.
-
Hardcover, least for me. While it keeps the pages flat and more protected, I like easy access, and opening it up quickly was difficult.
