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

Thank you

Good price - great for colored pencils - better than a regular sketch pad.

Thick but soft... easy to scratch.

The thickness and texture is perfect. I use it for graphite drawings, colored pencil drawings, and mixtures of each. Performs very well, and holds up nicely to erasing.

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.

This isnt too bad and thankfully is on the edge of the pad, but you can definitely see and feel the dent on the paper.

So far so good for my level..

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

Awesome

Good
