Review on GRAFIX P04DW1114 Dura Lar 11 Inch 14 Inch by Dawn Fischer

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not recommended for colored pencils.

I bought this in hopes I could use it for drawing with colored pencils. I've used another unidentified drawing film bought at a drawing store for both crayons and ink with great success. However, I quickly found that Dura-Lar only takes a very thin layer of colored pencil and bleeding (unless the second color is applied on the opposite side) is out of the question. Colors will wash out badly when using Koh-i-Noor Woodless crayons due to Dura-Lar's very limited ability to accept anything but a very thin layer. However, a quick test shows that it can be very good for inks (technical pens like Rapidograph, Micron, Copic Multiliner),

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Something different
