The Strathmore 400 Series 2-Ply Bristol Smooth Pad is the ideal pad for artists of all levels. Paper is our art form, and we celebrate artists. We have kept the tradition of creating beautiful, high-performing papers alive for over 125 years.
Bristol by Strathmore is my go-to for fine rendering in graphite.
The smooth is good for pen drawing and I use the vellum surface for just enough tooth for fine and sensitive work. I have seen it used for silverpoint as well with excellent results.
