About this product
Overview
The Strathmore 300 Series Mixed Media Paper Pad is a versatile artist pad designed for both wet and dry media, with its standout 190g paper weight that resists buckling under light washes. This pad offers a smooth yet slightly textured surface perfect for pencil and marker work.
Key Specifications
The pad contains 40 sheets of acid-free 117lb/190g paper in a convenient 5.5x8.5-inch size, bound with a side wire for easy page removal and flat lay. Each sheet is robust enough for gouache and light watercolor without immediate curling.
Who It's For
Ideal for students exploring watercolor and gouache, and for traveling artists needing a single portable pad for pencil and ink studies. Its heavy-weight surface handles marker without bleed, making it a go-to for illustrators and urban sketchers who value versatility.
Worth Buying?
At this price, the reliable quality and durability make it a sensible investment for daily practice and finished pieces alike. The side wire binding allows full use of each page, though expect mild buckling with heavy wet-on-wet applications.
