Strathmore 400 Series Bristol Board

Comments about Strathmore 400 Series Bristol Board:

This is my go to illustration board for any pencil drawing other than quick sketches. It has enough texture to hold the graphite without being too rough to interfere with detail work. I like it so well that since I've started using it I hesitate to try anything else.

I create mixed media illustrations for children's literature.

Comments about Strathmore 400 Series Bristol Board:

This Bristol is good for general purpose artworks that require a smooth surface. Very little tooth. Pencil and ink work very well, charcoal less so, however I've made charcoal work on this surface several times before.

As a freelance cartoonist and illustrator, I've been using the Strathmore 400 series 2-ply smooth surface Bristol Board for more than 30 years. It is ideal for the purposes to which I put it, both for retaining a sure and solid ink line, and for holding bright colors.

Great paper. Thick, firm, smooth, and makes awesome wavy sounds when you wave it. Works great with graphite and ink. Terrific for big projects and nice artwork despite being "student" quality paper. I highly recommend.

Finally taking my drawing and watercolor to a more professional ground. Love the Strathmore Bristol board for its smooth surface, and the way it takes my watercolor without drinking or pulling. Gorgeous product and I will buy again

Strathmore Bristol 400 series paper. I use this paper for high quality colored pencil drawings. My order arrived quickly and in perfect condition. I can get the same paper at a brick and mortar store in my area, but their salespeople act like you're interrupting their day when you're ready to check out, so I vowed to find another source for this paper. I will order from Blick again.

I was most impressed with the person I dealt with in the ordering process. She made the process more like a conversation and made me feel she knew well what she needed to do. I don't remember her name but she did her job well.
