I have lots and lots of the
Strathmore Visual Journals, my favorite is the
5 1/2" x 8" Mixed Media Journal. A perfect
carry around size, works great for my Zentangle
® art, Inktense pencils, colored pencils or simply sketching. The Strathmore Visual Journals are also available in 90lb and 140lb watercolor paper. Both papers are a little thicker and great for watercolors, I don't like them as much for Zentangle drawings because the
Micron pens I use don't seem to hold up as well on the rougher paper.

This is a fun exercise I did in my
Strathmore Mixed Media Journal using circle templates and hand-drawn Zentangle mustaches.
