Perfect for Charcoal Sketches!

This art paper was a great addition to my arts and crafts collection. As a result of my tests I determined that it holds up well against charcoal and pastel application. The texture also adds a nice touch to my SKETCHES. However, it may not be suitable for other mediums due to its specific texture. .

Pros
  • High quality paper that is great for use with pastels and charcoal
Cons
  • Not suitable for other mediums such as watercolor or ink

Excellent paper with a nice tooth

Excellent paper with a nice tooth. It also holds up to multiple coats of pastel without getting "dirty". Nicely holds the line and clear details. You can start with a dark layer and easily add layers of lighter colors. i love this paper It is far superior to Strathmore pastel paper. If you're having trouble with Strathmore pastel paper, try Borden & Riley. The difference is immediately visible.

Pros
  • Warp, medium tooth and heavy
Cons
  • Something else
