Please be aware that the finish on this is vellum (smooth). The article is not misleading since it explicitly states so, but I did not read the whole thing. As far as we can tell, the paper has no teeth. little picture on the cover seems to be made on a toothy surface, but that is not actually the case. Therefore, I don't think it's appropriate for charcoal or pastel. Neither I nor you will be using it for watercolors, although perhaps if you do not mind the smooth finish, you might. The paper is heavy, and I like the tone of the paper. In the future, I will use it to color pencil. Hopefully I will be able to do it with pen and ink. Although it isn't exactly what I expected, it is not a waste of time. My failure to read carefully made me make a mistake.
This paper is tough enough to hold up to reworking with watercolors! I work with it on a daily basis! My painting is amazing and I keep thinking I'm going to ruin it because of the fray and the paper will tear and get yucky but it doesn't! As long as the project is completed, it remains beautiful. Recommend it a hundred percent.
It is actually really nice paper- quality is excellent- however, the picture shows the paper looking different from the actual product. The image makes it look like a bright, warm toned tan, but it in fact is a light beige in tone- Even if it is not the color it was advertised to be, the paper is still very beautiful - but the seller is a jerk - good product, bad seller.
184 lb, recycled, and with visible fibers on the surface) seems to be the exact same colors and surface quality as the previous product. The scale weighs. Taking a look at the top surface of the heavyweight sketch paper and the medium weight sketch paper, I note that the "Vellum" surface of the heavyweight paper is a bit 'harder' than the "Medium" surface of the lighter weight Thus, the latter can be considered more 'matt' in finish and to me will be able to show in your home longer With quick strokes and side-by-side comparison, we were able to achieve slightly darker darks. There are no differences in the looks of the papers, and good results can be obtained on either graphite. - attached is a photo of a small graphite drawing done on gray mixed media heavyweight.
The watercolors and cheap colored pencils I use for this purpose are great for play time. The pigmented paper will only react to intense values. Paint using these values to make the pigment show through. As opposed to painting on white paper, I find it fun to paint on black Using a sheet of paper without bleeding is ideal for painting on both sides. The only thing I would like is for the paper to have a little more tooth/grit, but otherwise I think it's fine In sum, I am having a ton of fun and will get it again after I'm through with it.
The ink felt a little overpriced to me at first, but after putting it on the paper I had a change of heart. Very good for watercolors or any other works with ink or watercolors. Great if you want to use light skin tones or just for other purposes.
Rather than having quite enough tooth to enable pastels, colored pencils, or even graphite to adhere well, I found it much smoother than I expected. If I am going to use it, I will use markers or maybe.
That's when I began counting the pages in my pad, and I found that there were only 14 pages. Is it a used one I received from Amazon? The possibility exists. The corner of one page has a small crease. I am very unsatisfied with this experience.
