Strathmore's Toned Tan Art Journal contains paper ideal for light and dark media. The journal's paper accepts graphite, chalk, charcoal, markers, colored pencils, pens, and white gel pens. Pages are 100% recycled, acid-free, and contain 30% post-consumer fiber.

Each hardbound journal cover comes lightly-textured, with a matte cover in dark chocolate brown. The durable Smyth-sewn binding allows pages to lay flatter. Each book contains 128 sheets of 80 lb., acid-free paper.
