Strathmore 462 111 Mixed Media Sheets Review

I ordered this as a gift for my 7 year old granddaughter and found it too good quality for an up and coming one Artist. So I decided to keep it. Even though there are only 15 sheets, I like that they are thick enough for watercolors. I found this tablet of good quality that suits my needs!

If you love watercolor pencils and are frustrated by the uneven surface of most heavyweight papers, then this is the answer! The paper has the smoothest finish of any heavyweight paper I've found. Pencil lines are clean, not rough. When you add water brush strokes, the difference in how smooth the paint/pencil strokes turn into watercolor is immediately apparent!

Strathmore 400 Series Mixed Media has a pleasant weight. It's good for experimenting and working with ink, acrylics, watercolors, collage and anything else. Draw on it, paint on it, make collages on it, stamp anything on it. With this paper, the whole world is open to you. I like the heavier weight of the 400 series compared to the 300 series for mixed media as it warps less when using a lot of ink and other wet media.
