Fabriano Quadrato

By Linda Farmer, CZT

From the 2-Part Series “Choosing a Journal for Penwork” by Sandra Strait.

Fabriano Quadrato Artist’s Journal – The softcover is a heavy cardstock that comes in 2 sizes, 6″x6″, 9″x9″, both with 96 pages. The awesome thing about this journal is that the paper comes in six light earth-tones: warm White, Hazel Brown, Ash, Felt Blue, Light Green and Ivory. The online information say that it is excellent for writing ink, pencil, charcoal, and pastel. The paper is smooth but does have some grain. Overall, the journal is light in weight for its size. Sadly, a few pages have imperfections. I think they are impressions from something sitting on the page, so it could just be my journal in hand, and not something that would occur in all the journals. I haven’t had a chance to draw in it yet, but I know it’s going to be fabulous.”
