I'm in love with these ARTISTO Premium Mixed Media Sketchbooks: Pack of 2. You get lots of acid-free, 160 gsm paper, and it's smooth, so think cold press.I found the quality to be good - I used watercolor paints, colored pencils, watercolor pencils and graphite pencils on it, and I was very happy. They all worked quite well on it, although keep in mind this is thinner than 300 gsm watercolor paper, so you may want to tape the edges down if you're worried about the paper curling for wet on wet. Also if you use alcohol markers on it, and you use them heavily, you may get some blded through the paper, but that's just normal at this paper thickness.I love just a hint of tooth for drawing and coloring, and that's exactly what I found with this paper. It's not smooth like Bristol but is much closer to cold press. Overall, it's a perfect compromise for mixed media paper.In case you can't tell, I'm super happy with this paper. I like drawing, sketching, painting and coloring on it, and it's acid-free, so it won't brown over time or change the colors of your media. I used a mix of artist quality watercolors and colored pencils and student and craft versions, and everything felt good on this paper and had good results. Please note: some people prefer sketch paper with more tooth, but since I don't, I'm more than satisfied to use this for all sorts of work. Add in that nice, low price for acid-free mixed media paper, and I'll be buying more of this.

Thick pages, used paint, markers, pencils and crayons on them. Didn’t bleed through! Smooth feel. Great quality for price. Will buy again.

Taking an art class, this is perfect for me. I like that I can fold back the pages, the quality of the paper, and the size. We use many different mediums and and the paper holds up well.

I am new to acrylic and like this paper. It does need a layer of white or gasso first otherwise it will soak up the paint. For the price point and size, I'm more than happy with it.
