The Strathmore 300 Series Mixed Media Spiral Vellum Pad 9" x 12" is a sturdy and versatile art pad for artists who want one surface that can support many different techniques in the same project. It belongs to Strathmore’s popular 300 Series, known for its strong balance of quality and value and for being a dependable choice for everyday creative work.
The pad includes 40 sheets of 190gsm (117 lb.) paper with a Vellum surface. This vellum finish offers a balance between the absorbency needed for wet media and the control preferred for drawing techniques. As a result, the paper works well with both color and line, allowing you to move between methods without having to switch surfaces.
It is suitable for watercolor, gouache, acrylics, graphite, pen and ink, colored pencil, markers, pastel, and collage, making it an excellent option for mixed media artwork, art journaling, practice pieces, quick sketches, and more developed compositions. The paper supports layering and experimentation without limiting your process too easily.
The spiral binding makes the pad comfortable to use and helps it stay flat while you work, which is especially useful when switching between techniques or working in smaller spaces. The perforated sheets allow for clean and easy removal whenever you want to store, present, or frame your artwork.
The paper is acid free, helping your work remain in better condition over time. This is a pad designed for artists, students, and makers who want a practical, durable, and flexible surface for a wide range of media.
