Review on 📸 Strathmore 300 Series Canvas Pad 9x12: Glue Bound, 10 Sheets by Wendy Rodriguez

The point of canvas paper is to have a cheaper surface that mimics a real canvas on which you can work, sketch and even make finished works. Neither can this paper. Its plastic surface doesn't absorb water, so every time you want some transparency with diluted paint, your strokes become drips on the surface that take forever to dry. In addition, the usual amount of paint leads to uncontrolled deformation of the surface. Also the mixing of colors on the surface when painting is not good, probably because as mentioned it is more plastic and there are no more natural fibers to absorb the color in a way that makes mixing easier. I started using Fredrix Canvas Pads instead, and not only do they feel more like real canvas (they actually drape like fabric!), but they have the right absorbency and quality that make them a much better option than this screw up. .
