Absolutely LOVE all Strathmore art papers! Excellent quality paper for pen & Ink

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.

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.

I use this for graphite drawings and love it!

The thickness of the bristol is perfect for final pieces, especially for my commission projects. The Vellum surface has great tooth for holding down layers amof graphite and charcoal. This allows great blending and gradients. The 500 series is archival and made to withstand the test of time. This paper is great for erasing and reworking areas.
