Review on 📒 Strathmore 300 Series Mixed Media Pad (362-9), 9"x12", 40 Sheets by Carrie Spencer

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not very difficult

I was disappointed because the paper tore and fell into clumps when I tried to retouch the area. With care, it did the job for me because I was just attending classes. I'm an aspiring artist and used nylon water brushes with Faber Castell watercolor pencils. I don't know if the problem was my inexperience, materials or paper, but given the decent reviews I expected more. I've also tried paper with acrylic paints and cheap nylon brushes (just to make a color wheel) and the paper survived but wrinkled a bit. In general, I am indifferent to its quality. I like it for dry environments.

Pros
  • Great for mixed media sketching, practicing techniques and learning quickly
Cons
  • Can't remember
