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

I love using this paper, I practically have every type they make, just absolutely love.

Amazing one of the best

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

not the color paper i thought it would be wanted white

This is my practice paper for color pencil paper. I like it a lot. Texture is great.

Nice paper

Like quality

I do like this, very smooth, almost a vellum finish. I also use Stonehenge and Colourfix ( sanded) paper. The Stonehenge does feel softer, and it edges out the new Strathmore, in my opinion. But that is mostly because I am accustomed to it. Stonehenge also indents easily if your touch is not light enough. This make it the right choice if embossing prior to painting is your need ( I do with signature) For many many layers, nothing beats Colourfix. I havent piled layers on the Strathmore as yet.

I wanted to practice colored pencil techniques for coloring book success. Ive wanted to learn for years. I find this pad to be adequate for my needs. With practice, in this small pad In sure that Ill progress.

I liked the surface texture and color (white) just fine. It is a strong paper that takes a lot of abuse if you have to erase or burnish over and over again. However, truthfully I did not see any difference between this and my many other multimedia sketch tablets of the same paper weight. Im new to colored pencils, so perhaps I am missing something, but I dont see why they bother to call this Color Pencil Pad.
