The quality of the paper is amazing for the price. I was looking for a sketchbook for my new alcohol markers i got for chrismas, and this worked perfectly! Layered a color like 20 times without any drying time to test it out, and only then did it bleed, even so it was very very minimal.

Papel liso, consistência muito boa permite apagar sem manchar. Tamanho diferente, ele fica entre o A 3 e o A4 mas gostei

Casi al nivel de resistencia de un Mixed Media, resiste sin problemas tinta, y algun nivel de medios húmedos. Además la textura suave le da un agarre a los materia les que permiten el difuninado y da otras ventajas de aspecto a las obras.Ojalá hubiese en tonal, al menos en tono crema o hueso.

This is really nice thick paper that loves colored pencils. It doesn’t bend easy when coloring, sketching or erasing. It is very easy to sketch and color on. I use Prismacolor and Polychromos pencils. The colors turn out rich and beautiful when blended and layered. When you think you can’t get another layer in you can on this paper. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to get the most out of their colored pencils.

I like this paper, it has a nice thickness and is very smooth which I prefer. And it's a nice bright white as opposed to slightly cream like some other brands. I do a lot of pencil drawing and bristol is one of my preferred paper types.

I love Canson Bristol paper. It’s all I ever use. I was super stoked when I found out they had spiral bound. Now the pad itself was everything I hoped for EXCEPT the binding being torn when I got it😭I know it’s a small issue but man that messed me up. But I would still recommend the product

This review is about XL Bristol Vellum. I’ve attached a photo of the inside cover of this pad of paper which indicates in its chart that XL Bristol Vellum works well with watercolor. After my test, I believe it - it certainly works well with water color pencil :)Detail: I rigorously tested this paper with a combo of liquid masking fluid applied three ways (ruler pen, marker, and silicon brush), followed by water color pencil (applied two ways - pencil then wet brush, & wet brush then pencil), followed by layers of color pencil (some applied light, some stronger strokes), followed by burnishing parts with colored pencil, blending parts with a stump, and blending parts with mineral oil. Masking fluid came off EASILY after 24 hours on paper! No bleeding above or below masking fluid. I even used an electric eraser to test that (did pretty well, darker colors tended to dye paper/harder to lift, but definite lightening without noticeably damaging paper). The paper held up great! No bleed through of wet or eraser or pencil pressure to the other side. FYI, I used one piece of paper taken out of the pad without stretching it or tacking it down - just loose. There was a slight curling but not too bad. No warping. No bubbling. No pooling. Because of the slight curling, I’d recommend using artist tape to tape it down. Curling righted itself when I put under the pad of paper once it was dry. FYI, There is enough tooth in the paper that it took several layers of colored pencil. -but smooth enough to blend nicely. I used Caran d’Arch water color pencils and Prismacolor Premier pencils. I used a water brush to apply water (so not sopping wet, so can’t attest to full water color wet on wet use). Mineral oil used liberally for blending pencils did not bleed through to other side.I’m very pleased, will enjoy using and will buy again. 5 stars!
