Review on πŸ“ U.S. Art Supply Premium Calligraphic Practice Paper Pad - 9x12, Pack of 2 - 50 Sheets, 19lb Bond - Printed Rule and Slanted Grid by Morgan Gilmore

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good inexpensive paper. . . But maybe not for beginners

I had to read the fine print carefully before buying this paper. I like the fact that it's large (9" x 12"). It has horizontal lines and slanting vertical lines. I gave it three stars because the paper is so light it bleeds quite a bit - enough to make practicing extremely messy unless you have a light hand or spend a lot of time shaping the letters. I think this article is perfect for those who have at least a few months of calligraphy experience behind them. For beginners like me who are just starting to get to the details of letter construction, thicker paper would be extremely helpful - until you get a little more comfortable with strokes. If you do this, the paper will start to tear. In that sense it is unforgiving. So if you decide to put pen to paper, you have to be okay with that.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Available in white only
