Strathmore Toned Mixed Media Paper Toned Grey 9X12-15 Sheets -62462309

I love this paper! Works great for oil pastels, colored pencil and white charcoal pencil.

This is my favorite mixed media paper for card making, It works beautifully with alcohol markers and watercolor markers. It wont take as much water as watercolor paper but I dont use it for that.

Holds well with paintings. very nice quality didnt buckle at all for me

The paper falls right off the binding when you turn the page. Not a fan! Im going back to spiral bound.

Great but small

It has a funny texture that I didnt like. Its smooth and I didnt like the way watercolor behaved on it. Im giving it three stars because, what do I know? Maybe its supposed to be like that. It wasnt what I was looking for.

Paper is very slick and not real conducive to watercolor.

Consistent in look, feel, and quality with the Tan and Gray versions. Same thickness as well. Sadly, once again, Amazon insisted on cheap-cheap-cheap when it comes to packaging, and my pad arrived water damaged. Sooo, I’ll have to wait until the replacement arrives to try it out with graphite and colored pencils. I’m sure it’ll be fine just like the others, but the paper is a little dark for my tastes. I’d love a lighter bluish-gray in this line. That would be an exquisite substrate!

Strathmore Mixed Media is one of my favorite papers to use so I was elated when they started producing it in various tones. I work with multiple media on this paper such as colored pencils, watercolors, inktense, liquid ink, and graphite. This paper holds up well to all of them. I love the tooth, it is perfect for accepting multiple colored pencil layers but smoother than watercolor paper so you avoid the graininess when working with CP. See attached drawing I did using Prismacolors. The paper accepts wet media very well, they do offer a heavy duty Mixed Media paper if you are worried about oversaturation or warping/buckling, however I havent had an issue. I absolutely recommend adding this paper to your materials.

I love the paper! Perfect! It will hold up to repeated erasing and repetitive pencil strokes.
