Strathmore Toned Mixed Media Paper Toned Grey 9X12-15 Sheets -62462309

Nice paper. Thick. Good tone. I’m not sure it will work for colour pencils if you’re a beginner like me. I struggle with applications and layers. Too smooth and almost shiny. Also, check measurements. See pic. I ended up with small pad on the right. I don’t mind as I can take out with me, but honestly not what I was expecting.

Im so happy with this paper. I bought it to use with gouache, and it takes it so well! The paper stays intact and it seems to take many layers well. It even took a couple layers of alcohol markers well. No complaints, Im going to buy more soon.

Really love this paper. High quality and decent price.

Gift

Its nice paper, but if your mainly going to use it for watercoloring- dont get this paper. It cant stand up to wet on wet technique for sure.

just wish I would have gotten bigger size

Not as described. Paper is wonderful but completely wrong size. I wanted 9×12 but only got a 6×8

I primarily do water colors. this paper is for multi media, including water media. Watercolors do NOT show on this paper I tried many of my w.c. pencils to see how theyd work and only a few showed. Perhaps pastels? If you work with acrylics, this would be awesome.

I gesso on them but I really don’t need to. I just wanted a slightly more intense black. I’ll buy these again. Perfect for what I create.

Smaller than I had thought. However, sometimes smaller Mix Media paper is exactly what is needed. Its definitely worth it for the price. Great for MM projects, water colour or drawing. You love the weight. Its hard to find heavy paper. Thanks!!!
