Comments about Canson XL Recycled Bristol Pads:

I use this paper for all my colored pencil drawings. It is rough enough to make the colors stand out and the other side is smoother, so it can be used with markers or ink. It doesn't bleed when I use the ink with my colored pencils, and it isn't flimsy. I really have no complaints about this paper. It is also made from recycled paper, which makes it even better.

Comments about Canson XL Recycled Bristol Pads:

The paper comes with two textures: a smooth side (great for marker pens) and a slightly rough side (water-colours and coloured-pencil work well) on each sheet, something I've never found on other Bristol pads before.

Greenies, take note: it says "recycled materials", but it's really only %30-%40. Still not shabby, but there is some new material in the paper.

I've already used several sheets, and it's durable, puts up with repeated wettings (allowed to dry between each,) and repeated erasures without degrading. Sweet stuff, and great for the price.

Other than the minimal recycled content, I have no beefs with this product, so far, in fact, I'd recommend it to any artist, especially students on a budget. :)

Whats so great about this paper?? Well its two sided!! So you get a real great use out of the whole pad. Paint does NOT leak through at all, or make the paper flimsy. You wouldn't even know it was already painted on one side. its GREAT! :)
