Review on Strathmore Charcoal White Bound Sheets by Gelin Battle

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It has a tooth for charcoal which I use with graphite but wish they made charcoal and pastel paper priced at

It has a charcoal tooth which I use with graphite but wish they made charcoal and pastel paper in a thicker version. This paper is very thin and I prefer thick paper. I usually use watercolor paper and velor, which work well. However, with velour, you must first sketch your artwork and then transfer it to velour, as you CANNOT erase on velour. It's like working with watercolors, but even less forgiving. And ALWAYS start with velor from lighter to darker advertising layer. I like the end effect, but it requires a very careful hand and eye. There's a bit of abrasion on watercolor paper and I like it better than this paper and there's always Reeves but a very expensive suede sheet. , silk and other forms. But this is a fantastic paper.

Pros
  • Made in USA.
Cons
  • So far so good
