Review on Canson Recycled Bristol Smooth Vellum by Linda Diaz

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good paper but beware of tiny stains

I am a professional illustrator, typically working with pen, watercolor and Micron watercolor pencils on hot pressed watercolor card stock. I'm trying Bristol for classes. This paper erases well and the texture is fine for my purposes BUT. I love processed foods but there are tiny dark spots on the scan. If it suits you, try this. Otherwise, check out Fabriano Bristol Plus, which is all white and (for my purposes) takes watercolor better.

Pros
  • Acid free; 96lb/260g paper
Cons
  • Available in black only
