Cheap, smooth paper with a nice feel

Comments about Canson Foundation Bristol Pads:

I used to use Strathmore 400 smooth bristol, until I started to recognize a pattern in the paper - the darker the graphite was, the less smooth the texture. I recently brought Canson bristol as an alternative, and am wholely impressed. There is no deep-set pattern with this paper. Additionally, it has none of the plasticy feel that Strathmore had. The only better paper than this for pencil work is Strathmore 500 series smooth bristol, but that is $1 a sheet - this is much cheaper yet very close in quality. I would consider this paper the best in its price class.

Comments about Canson Foundation Bristol Pads:

I use the vellum paper with a toned background. It doesn't come that way, but I find that it works well when drawing on a sunny day. I love the way this paper responds to graphite. I haven't found anything 'not so great' about this product so far. A great product to stretch media choices with. Buy some and take it for a spin.

Great for all medias, though markers do bleed slightly on this paper, but that is to be expected. Great value!
