Canson Bristol 250gsm Paper, high-White & Ultra-Smooth, A4 pad Including 20 Sheets

High quality paper. Great for artwork where you need to use ultra smooth paper.

I'm a professional graphite artist and this was the first ultra-smooth paper I used. I was told by many other pro artists that this is insane paper to use and they're all right! So smooth and clear, perfectly white and I've yet to find any black dots on it at all.If you want the finest detail possible then smooth paper is the best. I do not use blending/smudging tools so is perfect for my animal portraits but be advised if you blend/smudge then smooth paper is not for you. Especially for human portraits, it makes it look dirty. Just a well-known fact you need a little more grain on your paper if you like to blend. Again, for fine details this paper is 2nd to none. I will never buy any other smooth paper. Worth every penny and I'm so so happy.

By far the best paper if u want to achieve seamless smooth shading without a grain in sight, i use Graphite pencils and I always love my shading to be as smooth as possible and with this paper I can achieve this. It holds dark and light shades well and the paper isn’t thin so you won’t have to worry about the paper falling apart or getting dents when doing heavy shading so the paper is very durable and you can really feel the quality of this paper when you use it. Just honestly the best paper I’ve ever came across!!

I purchased this paper to use with my copic markers. I had hoped it would be bleed proof but with heavier use it does occur so I have to put paper between the sheets to prevent ruining the one behind it. Nevertheless it's a lovely surface to draw on, super smooth and results in a nice bold ink lay with markers as well as good pencil clarity with my prismacolours. For blending with markers the effect is good - not great but definitely not bad for the price you pay.

Good for markers and airbrush, this paper has no bleed and is nice and smooth surface so ideal for such a use and has good thickness to the paper so no bubbling or page disstortion

Really love this paper! I bought it for airbrushing which I have recently gotten back into but it’s very versatile. I am surprised at how well the surface lends itself to acrylic paints (haven’t tried water colour yet) and pencil-work. It’s very forgiving, allowing me to smudge, blend and erase to my heart’s content. It’s very white and very smooth which may not suit all styles and though it’s is quite expensive, I will definitely be purchasing again.

Excellent paper for illustration work.

I need card to use with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers and have been using Strathmore Bristol, which is the recommended card used by professional card makers online, but is rather expensive, so thought I would try this as a cheaper alternative. It's actually not bad - I got reasonable results with both laying down a line of colour and waterbrushing it out (sleeping cat) and using two shades of the same colour and blending them (sitting cat). Please excuse my colouring; I am not an artist! It also stamps the outline well with Versafine Onyx Black ink and solid images with coloured ink (this one is Lawn Fawn sunflower). It is a brighter white than the Strathmore but slightly thinner. I think it is thick enough (and less expensive) to use as a card base if wanted. The results are not as good as the Strathmore but I think comparable and I like the brighter white and the price! Hope this is helpful.
