Dylusions Black Dot Grid Journal

Plan mixed-media layouts on black pages that showcase white ink brilliantly

Black cardstock opens possibilities that white paper can't touch. This journal's 180gsm pages handle wet media without buckling while providing a dramatic backdrop for opaque inks, metallic paints, and gel pens that pop against the dark surface. The white dot grid, subtle enough to fade beneath your work yet visible enough to guide composition, maintains structure without imposing rigid lines that constrain spontaneous mark-making.

Sixty-four pages strike a balance between substantial creative space and manageable portability. The heavyweight cardstock absorbs fountain pen ink and light watercolor applications while supporting collage layers and acrylic paint without showing through to subsequent pages. Whether you're building mixed-media spreads with stamps and stencils or mapping creative projects with color-coded notes, the dot grid adapts to both artistic exploration and structured planning.

Dyan Reaveley designed this journal specifically for artists working with opaque media on dark surfaces, the combination that makes white gel pens, metallic markers, and light-colored paints truly luminous. The slightly larger cover protects page edges during transport, while the binding allows pages to lie reasonably flat for working across spreads.
