Durable, Versatile Journals with Premium Bristol Paper for All Your Techniques

(260 gsm) acid-free Bristol paper, these journals are available in either a smooth or vellum finish—each tailored to different techniques. The smooth surface is ideal for pen, ink, and marker, while the vellum finish offers more texture for pencil, charcoal, and pastel.
