Strathmore: The Artist’s Choice!
High-quality, multi-ply Bristol paper is available in two surfaces/finishes. Smooth finish is excellent for fine line drawings using pen & ink or marker. Vellum finish is excellent for pencil, charcoal, and pastel, as well as airbrush and light washes. Not recommended for traditional watercolor techniques.
