Strathmore 400 Series Mixed Media Paper, Black, Glue Bound Pad, 11x14 inches, 15 Sheets (184lb/300g) - Artist Paper for Adults and Students - Watercolor, Gouache, Graphite, Ink, Pencil, Marker

Strathmore Mixed Media is one of my favorite papers to use so I was elated when they started producing it in various tones. I work with multiple media on this paper such as colored pencils, watercolors, inktense, liquid ink, and graphite. This paper holds up well to all of them. I love the tooth, it is perfect for accepting multiple colored pencil layers but smoother than watercolor paper so you avoid the graininess when working with CP. See attached drawing I did using Prismacolors. The paper accepts wet media very well, they do offer a heavy duty Mixed Media paper if you are worried about oversaturation or warping/buckling, however I havent had an issue. I absolutely recommend adding this paper to your materials.

Not the size I expected but love the .

I love this paper - Its nice and thick and smooth. Ive been using it for colored pencils and I like it better than colored pencil paper.

The smooth vellum finish shows detailed 2H pencil shading and can take heavy lines using a 2B pencil, so artwork has great depth. The colour of the paper is a warm white. Acrylic paint goes on very smoothly and dries very fast.

Got here super well packed. Perfect!!! I needed for my son for drawing classes and I couldn’t find at the regular stores the mixed media on this specific size!

Great paper that I really needed yesterday. Delivery was delayed. Then arrived with first page with a mark and slight crease. I am illustrating a childrens book so I cant use this page.

I use these for ink washes, fountain pen art, and color pencil. So far I have experienced less warping than the Bristol board I used before. Definitely worth a try!

Its nice paper, but if your mainly going to use it for watercoloring- dont get this paper. It cant stand up to wet on wet technique for sure.

Artist was running low on paper and this is the brand used. It was a greatly appreciated gift.

This is a great little book. I use watercolour and it holds up really well, especially as its not really meant for them. Light colours show up really well too, great for highlighting.
