## Description

Strathmore BRSTL 300 VL TB 9X12 20SH(12) : desertcart.ae: Arts & Crafts

Review: Paper Quality is superb
Review: Bellissima carta per fare ritratti iperrealistici. Ottima grammatura. E anche se la superficie non è liscissima, permette di ottenere ottimi risultati nelle sfumature. Personalmente l'ho usata per disegni in grafite e devo dire che sono molto soddisfatta dei risultati. Strathmore è un marchio che non delude mai.

## Features

- Everyone’s Favorite Yellow Pad. – You know it by the cover: popular in art schools, art classes, and art studios, the Strathmore 300 Series is a staple in the art community
- Why is it called Bristol? – The term refers to the early days of European papermaking when mills would send their finest papers to Bristol, England, to be glued together under pressure to form multi-ply sheets
- Use Bristol to Showcase Your Drawings – A heavyweight, 2 ply drawing sheet helps your artwork look crisp, bright and ready to share without the need for mounting thanks to the stiff, strong surface
- Two Types of Bristol – Smooth Bristol is preferred for mechanical drawing, marker, and airbrush along with pen and ink; Vellum Bristol is preferred for mediums that require a textured surface to grab pigment, like graphite pencil, colored pencil, charcoal, oil pastel
- Strathmore: The Artist’s Choice – Deciding the art surface is one of the most important decisions an artist makes in determining the outcome of their work, and Strathmore has earned the trust of the art community for its quality materials

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it come with pre-made panel templates or can you create your own?**
A: This particular one that I bought is blank. There are ones with the borders drawn in already with a blue print with guidelines for drawing panels. Usually they are labeled.

**Q: is it good for water colors? and is pure white paper?**
A: No, this paper disintegrates with water. Watercolor paper is for watercolor. Paper with out sizing in it ( like this paper ) is no good with water. Mixed media paper that is sized like the Strathmore 500 series mixed media paper....and watercolor paper are good for watercolor. WATERCOLOR PAPER = GOOD FOR WATERCOLOR.... not watercolor paper = no good for watercolor

**Q: How is this paper for calligraphy nibs and dip ink? This brand of drawing paper bled when I did calligraphy.**
A: I use this paper for dip pen calligraphy, using watered-down Sumi ink. The paper is thick, so no bleeding through at all.

**Q: Can you see through when placed on top of a computer screen in a dark environment? I need to be able to see through the paper to get an outline.**
A: Yes! I was surprised because it’s a heavyweight paper but I tested it in a dark room by placing a piece over my iPhone and I could see the image behind it very well. Hope this helps.
