Strathmore400 Series Colored Pencil Pad, 18"x24" Wire Bound, 30 Sheets

I like the skin of paper 📝 easy to sketch and drawing ✍🏻 but I didn’t try with markers yet

I'm not a fan of bristol paper but I knew Strathmore was a well-respected brand, so I thought I'd try their coloured pencil paper. I use Ateza pencils and was extremely happy with the way the two blended togetherpeter_shram_art

I was hesitant at first... The paper is somewhat cheap after all.Turns out, this is for good reason. I can't, and won't, fault the delivery, it was fast, well packaged and in good condition.That said, I simply cannot understand all the 'this is the best paper for coloured pencils' reviews. Simply put, this paper is absolutely terrible... It warps at the drop of a hat and can barely take any colours/layers. Simply adding layers or pressure causes the paper to warp.That they market this as coloured pencil paper is a farce. It is not worth your time or money, regardless of how cheap it may be.

The paper itself is very good for use with coloured pencil as it says and i love it. When it arrived it was damaged on the corners and the pages were warped so spoilt it a little. I only draw as a hobby and so it didn't matter too much but if a serious artist were to purchase it for finished pieces to sell i think they would be dissappointed 😔

This is a nice size and I like a ring bound art pad. However, the paper does not pick up my polychromos pencil colours. So disappointed, would not buy again
