Unreliable art paper with limitations

Based on my experience, this art paper is not suitable for wet media as it smears and bleeds. The texture feels rough and unpleasant. However, it is sturdy enough for dry mediums like pastels. The limited compatibility with other mediums makes it unreliable as a mixed media option.

Pros
  • Durable and sturdy, able to withstand various types of media without bleeding or warping.
Cons
  • Limited space for artwork given the smaller card size compared to traditional paper sheets.

DO NOT USE THIS PAPER FOR WATERCOLOR

DO NOT USE WATERCOLOR ON THIS PAPER! The description says mixed media, perfect for watercolor. This paper is by no means intended for watercolors. It is impossible to paint with watercolors on such paper. This is map material. unusable.

Pros
  • These heavyweight 140 lb cards have the qualities of watercolor paper but with a parchment finish for drawing
Cons
  • Available in white only

Strathmore Mixed Media Cards & Envelopes - Not So Hot

Strathmore Slips Away. WAS a reliable brand but no more. 10" x 7" mixed media cards are scored for easy folding. They are white, lightly textured, heavy enough for collage, Turkish marble, light watercolor paints. I've been using them for years and I'm very disappointed with my last purchase. The envelopes DO NOT MATCH the cards (they do match the engraved cards, which are more of an off-white color) and at least a dozen cards are NOT stuffed in the middle.

Pros
  • This item is Made in the USA
Cons
  • Available in Black only
