Retired, but for some reason now busier than ever! I have been obsessed with organizing and clearing out things I don't have time to use... and I keep talking about it! The problem is I also find things I forgot about, which then leads to another project. How many different projects do I have going? Well, follow this blog and see.

My Review of Raffiné ArtSketch Super Deluxe Sketchbooks and Sheets
Originally submitted at Jerry's Artarama Art Supplies
By far the best sketchbooks ever designed for fine artists! Raffiné ArtSketch Super Deluxe Sketchbooks and Sheets were created for artists who appreciate the feel, texture and easy working characteristics of professional, multi-media paper. Raffiné is expertly crafted with double black wire binding...
My all-time favorite journal paper
Pros: Heavy, Easy To Use, No Bleed-through
Cons: Economical In Large Sizes
Best Uses: Art, Art Journals, Mixed Media Paintings, Scrapbooking/Cardmaking
Describe Yourself: Value Oriented
Primary use: Personal
Was this a gift?: No
My first experience was with the Raffine sketchbooks. I decided to buy the packages of large sheets because I like to bind my own art journals. In the process I discovered it is great for use as a substrate for watercolor or acrylic paintings in larger sizes. You can fold, then wet the fold and easily tear the size you need. It does need to be stored flat, like all art papers.
