Review on Bee Paper Bristol 14 Inch 17 Inch by Denise Davis

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent paper for pencil and crayon, but.

As I improve as an artist, I have a fondness for art paper and other types of art materials. I thought it was a really great paper for graphite and colored pencils, but not heavy enough to do more than maybe add a little water color to a few ink drawings. I chose to only use parchment paper for drawing animals, mainly because the texture of the paper, all parchment paper, is jagged. This toothy, slightly grainy raw look is perfect for fur painting. In addition, Bee's paper is archival quality. For all other motifs I intend to use Plate (smooth) Bristol. A bee also makes a bristol dish.

Pros
  • Bright white textured parchment finish
Cons
  • Discontinued
