Strathmore - Visual Mixed Media Journals
Mixed media journal prevents bleed-through with multiple materials
Medium-weight paper that stands up to repeated layering changes how you approach journal work. Strathmore Visual Mixed Media Journals combine 90 lb (190 g/m2) vellum-surface sheets with true versatility, watercolor washes dry without buckling, while markers and ink maintain crisp edges without excessive bleed-through. The surface accepts dry media smoothly, from soft charcoal transitions to sharp colored pencil details, then handles collage adhesives and acrylic applications when you want to build dimension.
Spiral binding keeps pages flat whether you're working at your desk or sketching in the field, eliminating the fight against pages that want to close mid-stroke. Acid-free paper protects your work from yellowing and deterioration over time. This weight hits the practical sweet spot: substantial enough for mixed techniques and multiple layers, light enough that journals remain portable rather than becoming unwieldy bricks. Start with watercolor underpainting, add ink details, collage elements, then finish with marker accents, the paper handles that progression without falling apart or becoming oversaturated. Perfect for travel journals, daily art practice, or experimental work where you won't know your full technique until you're midway through.
