Review on πŸ“š Strathmore 300 Series Bristol Smooth Pad, 9x12 Tape Bound - Premium Quality, 20 Sheets by Monica Thomas

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent paper for felt-tip pens and colored pencils.

My son recently started studying art. He's only been doing this for 7 months, but he's been doing it since he got this item. Now I let him do the job. This article is phenomenal. It handles my marks very well and allows for a lot of blending. I use the bic 36 fine point set. Then I go over the markings with colored pencils. I use the prismacolor 48 set for this. Because I used markers, the paper is now the color I want. And the markers don't even change the texture of the paper. With the help of markers, my colored pencils become brighter and more realistic. And it allows me to go in and amplify my highlights. So with pencils I just color the picture. I usually use light layers. This paper works great with my technique.
