Muy buen papel

Pintura

this paper for Pastel work is just lovely, leaves and oil like painting look to it, I have enjoyed and bought a lot of the paper in as many sizes that i can get, you can work other colors and blend nicely, but I do try to not over work it, but if you do it sill looks fresh, I've left Three pictures for you to view. Just fantastic paper, it comes in shades of Gray scale, and as you can see I've used black scale for "the Bridge" and black scale also for the "Iris", then light gray for the Portrait, this paper comes in 18 by 24, and 9 by 12, I wished they'd make it in 11 by 14, but you can cut the larger one down, I did do the Bridge and the Iris by cutting the 18 by 24 in half. A must for Pastel work!

Always a fan of the Strathmore papers- this is a great variation of colors and the compression of the paper is perfect- I only got this pad as an add on item, typically I do not buy ANY type of sketch book with a glued binding- I used the pad for 5 min to do a quick sketch - I went to grab it the following day and it had already come unglued and the papers were loose. Not a big deal as I can use a portfolio to put the loose paper in. If you're really looking for a sketch pad/book I ALWAYS recommend using a spiral or thread bound book. Even with perforated pages of you choose to take your sketch out of your book. So- the ONLY reason I'm giving this 3 stars is due to it the papers being glue bound-otherwise the paper is great quality and awesome to use with any type of charcoal from pencils to sticks. Hope this helps! Xx
