The Strathmore 500 Series 2-Ply Bristol Vellum Pad is the ideal pad for experienced artists. With a 2-ply surface that readily takes pencil, charcoal, sketching sticks, airbrush, ink, marker, and pen; this pad provides the perfect texture for realistic blending and shading. The Strathmore 500 Series 2-Ply Bristol Vellum Pad is great for comic, cartoon, and graphic novel creation and allows for concepts and designs to flourish but is not recommended for traditional watercolor techniques. Paper is our art form, and we celebrate artists. We have kept the tradition of creating beautiful, high-performing papers alive for over 125 years. Choice of paper is one of the most important decisions an artist makes in determining the outcome of their work. No matter your choice of medium, you can be confident Strathmore paper will enhance your artistic efforts.

De tekenblok was beschadigd waardoor in een deel van de pagina's een kleine scheur zit wat wel heel jammer is voor zo duur papier. Ik zal er een stuk af moeten snijden om het te gebruiken....

This is an excellent paper for graphite drawing. Highly recommend. It is also more than perfect for Faber Castell Polychromo coloured pencils. Will definitely purchase again.

As a beginner in the art world of coloured pencil realism, I found this paper great to work with. It takes many layers and is easy to use the slice tool with. It has helped build my confidence in what I can achieve.

I do drawings in colored pencil and want the highest quality paper. Strathmore's 500 series is the best. I have purchased this vellum bristol pad a few times; however, lately, I find the pads arrive slightly damaged. The corners are crushed, and the pad is slightly bent, warped, as if it's been stored too tightly perhaps in a damp area. I won't return this as I can trim the edges and flatten the paper with a heavy weight, but I think it's best to bite the bullet (shipping costs) and order from a reputable art supply outfit online.

Feels good drawing with graphite and color pencil. The tooth holds up pretty good. I get about 6-7 layers before i loose the tooth. Of course, this depends on the artist pressure.

The paper is excellent. But why did they send it without hard packaging? Several sheets of paper are slightly wrinkled. If you pack the product like that, then reduce the price for it.
