Strathmore Series 400 Paper Pad 6" x 8" - Mixed Media, Toned Blue

Starting your artwork using mid-range colored paper allows for unique sketching & drawing possibilities by providing the middle value that would otherwise need to be rendered by the artist. A wider range of values from light to dark can be used, and the middle tone makes it easier for the artist to deliberately place shadows and highlights. 

Strathmore's Toned Mixed Media papers are also manufactured to withstand wet media applications like watercolor, gouache and acrylic. They have a vellum drawing surface for dry media applications, making them the ultimate surface for anything you choose to use. 

Strathmore's Toned papers are 100% recycled, contain 30% post-consumer fiber, and also contain kraft and bark fiber inclusions which adds visual interest.
