Switch between vellum and smooth surfaces for any drawing medium
Two-ply construction creates a surface sturdy enough for erasing and reworking without pilling or tearing through. This matters when you're building up graphite layers or correcting ink details, the paper maintains its integrity through repeated handling. Each sheet weighs 115 pounds, providing substance without the stiffness that fights your hand during extended drawing sessions.
The vellum surface offers moderate tooth that grips dry media effectively, holding charcoal and pastel while allowing smooth pencil layering. Smooth surface delivers the slip that technical pens and fine markers require, producing clean lines without feathering or bleed-through. Both surfaces handle airbrushing equally well, accepting spray media without buckling or warping under moisture.
Tape binding keeps sheets secure until you need them, then releases cleanly without tearing or leaving residue. Acid-free composition prevents yellowing over time, though these sheets lack the archival permanence of cotton fiber papers. Strathmore positions the 400 Series for working drawings, studies, and projects where quality matters but museum-grade longevity isn't essential. Fifteen sheets per pad provide enough paper for substantial projects without the investment of professional-grade cotton surfaces.
