Review on πŸ“ Optimized Clearprint Design Vellum Roll no. 1000H - 36 inches x 5 yards by Heather Shaw

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Marker not required

If you use markers (such as Chartpak) with this parchment, be careful. After a week or so, it will spread and your picture won't be as sharp as it was when you first painted it. I use my Clearprint parchment to draw and render cars (remember "Concept Sketches from the Big Three Drawings"). Prismacolor Crayon, Gouache, Nupastel and even the marker go very smoothly (Prismacolor Crayon EVER goes bad? I didn't think so!) And all the colors stay very natural and saturated, but wait a week and this marker will work, so your original realistic drawing will be like a sparkling cartoon look! I like the fact that I can make wall size pictures with paper. In my case I can draw almost a 1:1 scale car on it. I am sure I will order this parchment again as Vincent Vellum no longer exists (as far as I know) and even when it did exist I could not find any larger than 18" x 24". The price is right too - much better than paying >$90 for 50 sheets of the above size!

Pros
  • Art paper
Cons
  • Big and chunky
