Strathmore - Series 400 Premium Recycled Sketch Pads
Series 400 Premium Recycled Sketch Pads
Experiment freely with pen and pencil on eco-conscious sketch paper
Recycled paper that actually performs like premium stock, Strathmore proves sustainability doesn't require compromise. This 60 lb sketch paper handles graphite, charcoal, colored pencil, and pen with the same responsive surface you'd expect from virgin fiber sheets, while diverting over 50% recovered material from landfills. The medium texture provides enough tooth for layered graphite work and blending without the rough surface that fights fine details.
Acid-free chemistry ensures sketches won't yellow or deteriorate, making these pads suitable for work you'll keep rather than studies you'll toss. The weight strikes a practical balance, substantial enough to resist buckling under moderate erasing and technique practice, light enough to flip through pages quickly during gesture drawing or concept development. Students working through fundamentals and established artists experimenting with new approaches both benefit from paper that responds predictably without demanding precious materials budgets.
Tape-bound pads keep sheets secure until you're ready to remove them. Whether you're filling sketchbooks with daily observational drawings or working through compositional thumbnails, this paper lets you focus on developing ideas rather than compensating for inferior surfaces.
