Review on πŸ“ Black Mixed Media Pad: Strathmore 400 Series, 6" x 8", 15 Sheets - Premium Quality by Amy Mcleod

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Heavyweight paper not canvas

I was wrong thinking this was tablet canvas and not real poster board. I'm new to this and didn't really know mixed media was going to be a paper product. However, as they say, they are very durable and take acrylic paint quite well. The black color makes the colors come out more muted, but you can add more layers and this paper will hold them up well. It's difficult to correct mistakes (which I do!) as the paper becomes dull when rubbed or erased. Also, I would like the black to be a more saturated black color, for me it's a little faded. I think it's a good product if you understand what it's made of and the needs of your project.

Pros
  • Heavyweight paper in sticky pads with handy flip-top lid
Cons
  • Little things
