Strathmore 400 Series Bristol Pad 18 in. x 24 in. vellum pad of 15

The corners were bent upon areival

The pAper was not flat so I was disappointed in the product

Im an artist, and i needed a paper that was smooth, but not so smooth where my prismacolor premier pencils wouldnt be able to grasp the paper. I believe that this paper is perfect for this. This paper is thick, similar to watercolor paper, so if you were to burnish your pencils into this then, from my experience, there would be no evidence of it on the backside. This paper has a smooth yet slightly textured feel to it, so it really allows room for layering. I believe this money was well spent, and this paper has allowed me to open comissions with few to no worries. I am satisfied with my purchase.

absolutely terrible. I really feel I am a victim of a bait and switch scam. the 2 ply is very flimsy, wobbly and it's so thin Its tin( I had to remove the "h" for hardness because it wasn't hard, firm or wrinkle free like Blicks Arts 2 ply surfaces( which you don't sell)... honestly I doubt it's 2ply...when I return it back to you please inspect it with your other 2ply surfaces and see how they compare...very upsetting especially after paying $40 bucks for a 15 sheet pad. I will be okay though, I just have to figure out what I am going to spend this extra forty bucks your going to return to me on this site.

Ordered 2 for my kids art school audition pieces. The took all foams of paint-pencil and charcoal. It even held up to water color.
