Strathmore 105 970 Bristol Artist Vellum Review

After I put it to the test, I found that the paper was too thin and started to buckle when I used even light washes of watercolor. It also had a strange, almost rubbery texture that didn't feel nice to draw on.

I found these tiles here at Revain at a great price. I cut my art paper to various sizes - usually 4x4 or 5x5 - and these tiles not only save time, they're nice and thick too. This Strathmore 300 series is perfect for what I do (brush calligraphy projects or small painting projects so I think it would be perfect for zentanglers too).

Like many people, I love to draw in meditation and have tried different types of paper. In most cases I had to crop it to the right size. I bought my first pack of this paper and had to order more. I like it when my pen glides over the paper because the lower resistance of the pen allows me to work better with lines. I love the fact that I don't have to take the time to stop and cut paper before I can start drawing. The small tiles mean I can put them in my purse so I can paint anytime I'm…
