جميل

É um papel para se ter sempre junto em qualquer momento. Boa gramatura para desenhos rápidos e esboços.

製品に誠実さは感じる。マルマンのような安かろう悪かろうと言う、粗悪品を売っても安いんだからいいだろ、という発想はそもそもない。いい紙は高いが、その分満足感はある。絵を描くということは心を解放し、また観るものの心も解放する事だ。思い通りの表現を妨げる紙は安価である事が免罪符にはならない。

Article conforme à la description. Envoi soigné et rapide.

Perfect for drawing, smooth surface really enjoyed it with graphite pencis. For color pencils in my opinion it might be a bit too smooth, doesn't take many layers. I prefer something with a bit more tooth for color pencils, but depending on your style might work for you. Pages are a bit too thin, but perfect for practicing and as it it is acid free there is no concern that it might yellow over time. Pad has hard back which is very convenient for quick sketches on a go. Colour is creamy white, but I found it actually whiter than Strathmore Series 400 Bristol vellum paper. My second photo Strathmore Bristol Vellum Series 400 on a left and Strathmore Sketch Series 400 on a right. Attached drawing of a lady is done with Faber Castell 9000 graphite pencils, charcoal backgrond and Derwent Coloursoft for red rose. Coloursoft is too soft for this paper, Faber Castell Polychromos should work better, will try next time. Overall 100 pages of very good quality paper for this price is very good deal. Made in the US with materials from France.

Strathmore paper is the best, and the supplier had it delivered to me the very next day… With the supply chain issues in the world these days, you can’t ask for anything better than this 😊
