Review: Great Paper - I bought this paper as I've read you can get amazing results with it using colored pencil. I liked how it worked with CP; however I really became enamored with it while playing with pastels. I think it is better suited for pastel work. I love the tooth, it isn't too gritty has a fairly smooth feel to it and the hard back will make it easy to mat/frame. I'm probably not doing CP work on this support correctly, but I sure like the outcome with pastels. And the tooth won't eat up your CP as much as regular sanded paper. It's worth the price.
Review: Best paper so far! - Love this paper! So easy to create pastel art on this paper!

Love this paper! So easy to create pastel art on this paper!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best pastel surfaces
*by T***K on August 19, 2023*

A very good paper for my style of work. It is remarkably smooth for the amount of pastel it can hold. I can layer, blend, and rework my subjects and not worry too much about damaging the surface. Sometimes there are lines that look like a sort of grain across the paper, but as I usually cover the entire paper with pastel it is not noticeable in the end. My only wish is that Amazon used greater care when shipping fragile art supplies.
