Review on πŸ“’ Strathmore 400 Series Toned Tan Mixed Media Pad with 15 Sheets - 11"x14" Glue Bound (462-211) by Kelsey Brown

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Smooth (parchment-like) finish

Note that this is actually a parchment (smooth) finish. It's not misleading like they say, but I wasn't paying enough attention. Paper has no teeth. The small image on the cover looks like it was taken on a rugged surface, but you don't get that. So I don't think it's suitable for charcoal or pastel. I don't think I would use it for watercolor as well, although maybe you could if you don't mind a smooth surface. This is good thick paper and I like the tone. I think I use it for colored pencil. I'll try pen and ink and then we'll see. It's not a waste of time, just not quite what I was hoping for. But I didn't read carefully enough.

Pros
  • Arts, Crafts & Sewing
Cons
  • Some small things
