The ballpoint pen debossed the paper when I drew the circle, but not while writing. Surprisingly, the brush pen, with a much heavier, bolder line but drier ink was the only medium with show-through, but it no bleed-through. It doesn’t show too well with the scan, but I also had bleed-through with the technical pen and colored fineliner, though it wasn’t as bad. The ink bled through to the back and onto the page beneath. When I used a fountain pen to write, I had no feathering or bleed-through, but when I drew circles, layering wet ink on wet, the paper started pilling. I hit that almost immediately with this notebook. You can fold the book pages back so it can be held in one hand while you are writing or drawing.Īs you may know, I like to test my paper to the point of destruction. The binding is a Smyth-sewn block glued into the cover (which is why the first and last two pages don’t lie flat). Except for the first two pages in the very front and the very back, all the pages lie flat My scan makes it look like there is a slope, but there isn’t, even in the middle. The paper is white and smooth, but not slick. The inside covers have further information about Denik’s mission. The covers are rounded and lie flush to the pages. It is a little slick which might be an issue while carrying the book around, if you are as klutzy as I am. The soft touch cover is pleasant to the touch. The back has the Denik logo, statement, and social media information, as well as the name of the artist information. The front has nothing but the painting and the artist’s signature. Her beautiful mountain painting is on both the front and back cover. I received the Denik Softcover Layflat notebook with cover artwork by Leisl Cannon.

I recently won a Denik notebook and decided to review it. Since the season of giving is around the corner, I decided to go ahead and post here. Not a watercolor supply, but I just reviewed a notebook that would be great for sketching and value studies.
