(580-72 500 Series Bristol, 2-Ply Plate Surface, 11"x14", White, 15 Sheets

Siply love this paper.

Although a bit pricey, it is nice paper. It doesn’t take light watercolor washes because the paper will ripple. Dry pencil techniques and pastels work best. I wish I could have gotten a smaller pad than the 11x14, though. Other sizes were not offered. Regardless, it is a good quality pad of Bristol. I do recommend the vellum for the colored pencil, graphite, and pastel artists.

This is the best board I have used. It is just expensive enough that I don't want to use it for trivial stuff, just quality work. It's a little harder to feed through my small printer, but is fine for hand work (lettering and line art). For standard, normal quality work the 300 series is adequate and a good value, though.

Every artist likes their own paper for their own reason. This paper for me has been the best so far for my graphic drawings. I like in thickness, it allows for erasing often. It allows for limited mixed media. I like to use some colored pencil with my graphite and it holds up to blending. It also frames well.

I use Micron and Gelly Roll pens on this paper. Its surface is extremely smooth and "hard", more so than the 300 and 400 series (which I've also used.) That keeps most of the ink on the surface of the paper, which gives it a great deal of visual 'pop'. As such, I'm extremely happy with the quality of the workmanship in the product; I just wish it came in a square (instead of rectangular) format.

I love this paper so far Except,, I noticed the paper is warped! 😫😫😫

This is perfect for color pencil. You can easily use cut back/scrape techniques with this.

I use this for graphite drawings and love it!

A high quality paper for times when. a smooth paper is required. Preferred this plate surface iwhen aiming to do more detailed work with graphite or coloured pencil or if working with pen and ink. Would purchase again.

Bin sehr zufrieden.

Um dos melhores papéis que já usei para desenho.

I brought this paper having seen that the amazing artist Heather Rooney uses this paper. My techniques are different to hers, however i got on reasonably well with it, it doesn't take that many layers, but more than i expected being an ultra smooth paper. The subtraction method works amazing using a slice tool & the tombow mono eraser for Highlights. It blends beautifully being so smooth, but also has drawbacks for realism. I used Polychromos and Luminance pencils, which do work lovely with this paper and i would definitely use it again. However i think i will probably stick to pastelmat for most of my wildlife drawings, as light over dark works great, and it holds tons of layers, to get in all those details. I ended up using touch up texture in a few places to get more layers and my darks darker. Photo is taken in a dark room. So its not completely true to the finished peice. @larissa_chadney_artist

無事に届きましたが、一箇所にボールペンの先で突いたような凹みがあり、表紙と一枚目の本体の紙に凹みがあります、クレームとして返品も考えましたが、用紙の中央ではなく少し周辺に近いところだったので、今回は我慢して収めました。写真をご覧いただくとお分かりだと思います。用紙一枚だけのダメージでしたのと、用紙の縁から5cm程度のところでしたので、我慢して使用することにしました、アメリカから直送でしたが、梱包が簡略で薄いダンボール一枚の厚みの封筒に入って送られてきました。ボールペンのようなもので突いたような傷なので輸送中に尖った物にぶつかってできたものかと思います、今後気をつけていただきたいと思います。
