Review on πŸ“ Strathmore 475-3 400 Series Bristol Paper: Vellum Finish, Tape Bound, 9x12, 15 Sheets by Kelly Caballes

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for colored pencils!

I used this Strathmore series when I first started out with colored pencils. I tried to find them at all the local craft stores but couldn't find them. It has just enough texture on paper to pick up more pigment from pencils but leaves a nice smooth finish. This paper is my favorite paper for drawing with colored pencils and I have yet to find another that can match this paper. I have included with this paper an example of a still life I made many years ago.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Long lead time
