5.0 out of 5 stars Consistantly good quality
Strathmore Bristol Vellum Paper Pad (9"x12") - A Quick Sketcher's Dream!This Strathmore Bristol Vellum pad is an absolute gem for any artist who loves to sketch or work with dry media. The paper’s vellum surface has just the right amount of tooth, providing a satisfying drag for pencils and charcoal without being too rough. It’s fantastic for capturing detail and adding subtle shading.I’ve been using it for quick character studies and my graphite work has never looked better. Colors also pop beautifully if you're using colored pencils. The 9"x12" size is super versatile for portability and manageable projects. Plus, the paper holds up surprisingly well to light erasing, a huge plus. Definitely a go-to for clean, crisp lines and smooth blending. Highly recommended!
5.0 out of 5 stars Good equipment
One of the best paper I have used for blending polychrome pencils
5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant for coloured pencil drawing.
I have bought quite a few of these pads. Nice amount of paper. The paper itself is very good and sturdy. Does take quite a lot of layers of coloured pencil and end results are excellent. Came quickly and well packaged.
5.0 out of 5 stars The best paper
The best paper, love this and bought time and time again.
4.0 out of 5 stars Nice drawing paper but...
This is a very nice smooth drawing paper (perfect for graphite work). The bad news is that it is far, far too expensive for a drawing paper (DalerRowney 230gsm A2 Heavyweight pad has an Identical smooth drawing surface but is a lot, lot cheaper!). Strathmore Bristol Velum pad is a little larger than the DalerRowney A2 pad (Strathmore paper pad is made in the USA so is not bound by the EU 'A' type paper sizes, whereas the DalerRowney pad is made in the UK and is therefore manufactured in the European 'A' type measurement standards). DalerRowney and Strathmore are both excellent drawing papers (the price difference is the real fly in the ointment). My Strathmore paper pad arrived properly packed and protected through the mail so there was no surface damage or crumpled corners on the pad.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good paper for graphite pencils
I absolutely love this paper! I actually bought the Strathmore Bristol smooth paper first because a lot of people recommended it, however I definitely prefer the Vellum paper. I use graphite pencils and I found the smooth paper was too smooth and you could see pencil lines in the drawing. I personally think the vellum paper looks much better with graphite pencils and it’s so much easier to blend with. The smooth paper was very hard to blend and made my drawings look a bit muddy. However, I do think the smooth paper would be good if you use coloured pencils because it would be easy to blend with solvent.
5.0 out of 5 stars Really good paper.
Very smooth, holds colour well and takes layers brilliantly. I would buy again.
Ottima carta!
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.
Just amazing
Recieved in perfect condition makes it all a Great great great experience. Thank you
Bad packagi by unfortunately damaged product
Product came right but it’s paper- should be handled with better care and also packed . There was no protection
Excellent papier épais
Papier acheté bon pour dessiner aux crayons de couleurs.Le papier est épais, ne peluche pas, résiste aux couches successives de crayons jusqu’à saturation sans s’abîmer. Bonne tenue, ne gondole pas. Léger grain.Utilisé avec des crayons de couleurs gras , primascolor premier.Je recommande.
Works amazing for color pencils!! Worth the buck.
The sheets are so amazing, takes alot of layering and pressure from color pencils especially. It is thick and smooth with not that much texture. Totally worth for the money. Good for beginners and also professionals. Overall this is too good. I am attaching few of color pencil drawings here for you to get an understanding.
