Strathmore 500 Series Illustration Board for Wet Media

Comments about Strathmore 500 Series Illustration Board for Wet Media:

I have been an illustrator for many years and I had relied on Strathmore series 500 for many of those years. I stopped using it when the quality of the product declined, and as a result I had an important assignment ruined. I recently decided to give Series 500 another chance after reading a review. I tried the new series 500 Wet Media board and found that it was better then the original series 500, and my watercolors went down with a brilliance and flow that I would recommend. It's hard to pin point exactly where this product falls if the user is used to the standard hot and cold press parameters to define watercolor paper. I suggest an artist try a couple of sheets and see how it takes to flow, lift off and brilliance. It's very satisfactory for illustration.
