Plumchester™ Square Sketchbook, 10x10 48 pages

Just ordered the Plumchester™ Sketchbook Bundle – 3-Pack with 3 different sizes .... I love the feel and color of these sketchbooks... Can't wait to start creating some art!! ... and thanks for the freebies!!!

I received my first Plumchester sketch book in an Art Snacks subscription box and it was an instant favorite. So happy Kingart carries them and I couldn't pass them up when I saw them. Also great pens!

Gave this as a gift to my daughter... She loved the color and feel of the sketchbook. She is using it as a mini scrap/sketchbook. I will definitely order again in the future!

This is the perfect size for quick doodles. Paper is not the best but it works if you're gentle.

Cant be too rough on it, but its pretty decent for the price. Love the color

This is such a convenient size to take anywhere to do your zentangle drawing.

Plumchester Square Sketchbook, 8x8 48 pages

Plumchester Small Square Sketchbook, 6x6 48 pages

I love these sketchbooks and am very happy King Art has taken them over with ArtSnacks closing this year.

This sketchbook can of course be used at home and not just for traveling but I find it is the perfect size to fit in my small backpack with a pencil pouch for on the go drawing. The paper is solid, I have only tried out colored pencils and ink pens so far but they work well. I feel like the rich purple cover and the yellow bookmark cord adds a little elegance to it. The square shape of the sketchbook makes it great for posting Instagram photos.

love m;y stuff!

Love the size and the quality of the paper. Takes all mediums I have tried so far and they all look great.

I got two of these from older inktober boxes and I love them. The paper is nice and I love the fact that they lay flat when open so I did a lot of spreads across both pages. I think it’s time for me to order more!

Best sketch book ~and beautiful hardcover! I’ve enjoyed working on my sketch studies with this book. The paper is a strong, thick quality that brings ideas to life without breaking easily. Important when using many layers. The cover itself is protective and a lovely purple shade I adore. Thank you ArtSnacks, for your products and excellent service!

I've gone through one and a half of these bad boys-- the smaller book goes with ny to my 9-to-5-- and while they admittedly have a weakness to water based media. That's to be expected.

I'm terms of construction, it's held up pretty well to existing inside of my purse, and the cover feels robust and looks/feels good on its own without restricting me from making it tacky by slapping stickers all over it.

I'd say the biggest issue I've had so far is with dip pen and ink. The paper doesn't handle that level of ink without some feathering, so doing detail work with a g nib or blue pumpkin (or pentel brush) isn't gonna happen, but the paper doesnt tear from the dip pen.
Overall pretty good for the price!

I wanted to try a square sketchbook again but it was important that the paper was archival ( which the illo paper is not). I decided to try this one and so far I'm liking it. I already knew that markers would bleed through, which was fine by me since I tend to cut out marker or mixed media paper and stick it to the other side, that isn't a problem for me.
If you're looking for paper to handle watercolor or even light washes, this isn't for you. It doesn't handle wet media well, I've even tested my tombow markers and tried doing a light wash. However if you don't mind the bleed through of markers, want to just use pen/pencil, maybe gouache, this works. Again, I've gotten into the habit of sticking marker paper or mixed media paper into sketchbooks that don't do well with one or the other. Hope this helps!

Sometimes a new sketchbook inspires and in this case, it 300% does! I adore this new book so much. It's purple color is lovely and it's sturdy, with good paper quality.
I'm new to Art Snacks, and just joined the online community as well! I can't wait to get more supplies💜

I love the handy size and the feel/color of the cover. The paper is great!

Like many others, I am guessing, I usually have multiple sketchbooks going at once... different sizes, paper types, different purposes, etc. Last year I finished/filled up my little purple Plumchester and since that day... I have really been missing having it as a go-to part of my sketchbook collection. If I had to pick one or two reasons why I liked it so much, it would have be the portability of the size and the paper type wasn't "cheap" - it felt nice to paint, doodle, etc on.

this is my go to watercolor notebook when traveling it's small but the paper is amazing.

Not too big, not too small, just the right size for throwing in a bag and taking urban sketching.

This is the highest quality sketchbook I own. I often am hesitant when they boast 'lay flat' but this journal truly does lay flat. The texture of the cover is so soft, it is soothing to touch and it doesn't grab dust or small particles. The color also stays on the cover. I am truly impressed with plumchester.

Definitely can see how this would be a nice sketchbook to bring with you! Compact for storage in smaller bags, however it is certainly just a sketchbook. Mediums would be "limited" to pencils and pens for me. Some alcohol marker bled through when using, however I'm a bit heavy handed. All in all will use for my concept ideas in the future!

I love these sketchbooks. Great paper and I love the purple cover

Originally I bought the smaller version of this, but I'm back for the larger size. I really like the paper, it's on the thicker side and has a VERY slight tooth making it very versatile.

The size is great. However, I specifically asked if they bled with Alcohol Markers. The answer I had received was no. But they do bleed through. If you use alcohol markers primarily like me keep this in mind.

The cover is a great surface to paint/put stickers on, great for personalizing your sketchbook! Paper is a good quality, good for pencil and alcohol markers, NOT good for watercolors.

This sketchbook reminds me alot of the illo sketchbook. It's affordable and sturdy(that says alot because I'm hard on sketchbooks) the paper is nice and thick and smooth and takes the markers beautifully! I would definitely purchase this sketchbook again!

Got this to use for the October Ink Challenge. The paper has a good weight to it and the ink doesn't bleed through at all using fountain pen and Tombow marker.

This is perfect and the cover feels amazing! I will probably purchase the larger size as well!

Good quality sketch book
