Strathmore Colored Pencil Spiral Paper Pad 9X12-30 Sheets -62477900

Nice but pricey.

Excellent quality.

Works well enough but drawings are left with too much texture (i.e., tiny white spaces)

I love this paper so much i draw a cupel drawings and the lead and ink went on nice and i like how the lead /grafate, i cant spell T.T back to the grafate it erase buteful. Uwu And my colerd pencil went well on the page

If you plan to use this as a concept sketch pad, go for it. If you plan to do lots of layering in your CP work, Id stay away. Its heavy paper, but it does not lend itself well to layering and the use of solvents. Im just using it for a sketchpad. Edit 6-22-16: If you plan to do burnishing and not excessive layering with solvents, you CAN actually accomplish a finished piece on this paper. But its still only going to be a concept pad for me.

This is excellent color pencil paper. It can hold many layers of both oil and wax pencils. The paper will curl a little with really heavy layering but you can frame it to fix that problem.

Use it all the time for many purposes. Colored pencils mainly.

This was purchased for me off my wishlist for a project Im working on. The notebook is great but it has some odd lines that run deep through the paper. Think running your nail on the page and coloring over it you would see the indentations. Overall I will make this work Im considering getting another.

The title said it was a two pack and only one was delivered. The paper itself is good quality, but it is misleading. I didn’t notice the title change when it was in my cart.

It is advertised as Colored Pencil Paper. And yes, it is utterly sublime at that. But dont let that give you the wrong idea that is the only strength for this paper. It is, quite simply, the best overall drawing and art paper I have ever seen. It is AMAZING and utterly perfect for graphite drawing as well. Its amazing for pens and makers. Its the perfect thickness and strength, and its god the perfect tooth for not only colored pencil but also graphite. Its also brilliant white, so its clean and beautiful. If I could only choose one paper for the rest of my life to do drawing and art with, it would be this easily with no question. It also has a little trick to it. One the front side, you get a beautiful paper with a little bit of tooth to it - about as much as the Strathmore drawing paper series, that is perfect for grabbing that graphite and that colored pencil material and making then both dark and brilliant. But its not TOO much tooth. Its not so rough that it fights you. Its perfect. Just enough. But on the back side of each sheet, you also get a different surface that is smoother if you prefer. So think of the front side, as sort of a vellum kinda paper/board if you will, and the back side as a sort of bristle board or smooth if you will. You just get everything with this paper, and its even the perfect size. Honestly, you dont really even need to bother with research or even spending money on anything else. Just get a few of these pads and youll have all you need.
