Strathmore - Series 400 Premium Recycled Drawing Sheets

Series 400 Premium Recycled Drawing Sheets

Draw confidently on eco-friendly paper that handles every dry medium

Strathmore formulates this bright white drawing paper from recycled content without sacrificing performance. The 80 lb regular surface handles graphite, charcoal, colored pencil, and pen work with the same tooth and durability you'd expect from virgin fiber sheets, while 10% post-consumer and over 40% pre-consumer recovered materials reduce environmental impact. Medium texture provides enough grip for layered graphite and blended charcoal without showing excessive paper grain in your finished work.

Light washes work here too, the weight and sizing resist minor buckling from ink washes or light watercolor accents, though heavier wet techniques call for dedicated watercolor paper. Single sheets let you stock up on the exact quantity you need for a project or test the paper before committing to a pad. Whether you're working through studies, developing portfolio pieces, or teaching students who burn through paper quickly, these sheets deliver reliable drawing performance while keeping recovered materials in productive use rather than landfills.
