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

amazing quality

I loved my colored pencil papers.thank you Amazon :)

Love this paper, its perfect for the Colored Pencil by Prismacolor

The rougher side of this paper works well with most brands of coloured pencils that I have: Polychromos, Pablo, Holbein, Luminance, Prismacolor Premier (and the old Berol ones) and Derwent Coloursoft. The Derwent Procolour and Artists struggled, but they dont do well on most papers (especially the lighter colours) as the cores are hard and reluctant to give up pigment, and work better on Pastelmat or similar. The other, smoother side of the paper worked best with the Pablos and Prismacolor Premiers. Holbein and Berol were ok, but the others didnt layer well. The grain of the paper (rougher side) is fairly uniform and non-directional, which I find a boon for tight realistic animal portraits...some papers have a crepe-paper texture which can put unintended highlights in your work. You get a nice traditional coloured pencil look with this paper. The white I ordered was not very white, more a pale grey, so may cause problems if being reproduced for illustration, but overall, I was pleased with the paper and will buy it again.

Good quality paper. I would definitely recommend it.

Very good colored pencil pad. very easy to paint.

Ideal paper for coloured pencil drawing it has quite a lot of tooth.

Worked out pretty well for a portrait painting. Not easy to find the size this big on Amazon.

A very nice pad of paper with perfect texture for colored pencils.

Great for colored pencil art
