The everything journal for people who refuse to pick one medium. The Art Spectrum Tan Linen Hard Cover Mixed Media Journal A5 Landscape gives you 48 pages of 250gsm mixed media paper behind a hard cover wrapped in warm tan linen. Pencil on Monday, ink on Tuesday, a cheeky bit of collage by Friday.

We like the landscape shape for one big reason: open it up and two facing pages become one long, wide strip. That is a lot of room for a street, a coastline or a messy page of ideas.

What Is in the A5 Landscape Journal

Here is what we notice as artists: the journals that get filled are the ones that come with you. A5 slips into a tote or a backpack, and the hard cover means you can draw standing up at a market or on the train without needing a table. Linen wears in rather than wearing out, so the cover only looks better the more it travels.

At 250gsm the paper has real weight to it, so it can take ink, markers and fineliners, plus light washes of gouache or watercolour. Want to go seriously wet, with soaking washes and lots of lifting? Grab the Blue Linen A5 landscape journal with 100% cotton paper instead. Or carry both, we won't judge.

Why We Reach for the A5 Landscape

• It actually comes with you. A5 is the size that leaves the house, so your journal fills up.
• Panoramas built in. Paint or draw straight across a spread for a wide, cinematic view.
• One book, many media. 250gsm mixed media paper for pens, markers, pencil and light paint.
• A cover with personality. Tan linen feels like a proper book, not a disposable pad.

How We Use It

Start in pencil or a waterproof fineliner, then add colour with markers, a light wash or coloured pencil. Let wet pages dry before you close the journal. Keep heavy, wet work on one side of a sheet if you want the back to stay crisp for drawing.

Glue in tickets, receipts and scraps as you go. A journal full of bits and pieces from a trip is worth more than a perfect one. Need extra supplies? Browse our mixed media pads and paper, inks and markers.
