This paper utilizes a mid-tone background that allows artists to work quicker and achieve unique affects by adding deep shadows and highlights that pop. The Strathmore 400 Series Toned Gray Sketch Pad has a medium drawing surface, contains fiber inclusions for visual interest, is 100% recycled, and is made in the USA. Paper is our art form, and we celebrate artists. We have kept the tradition of creating beautiful, high-performing papers alive for over 125 years. Choice of paper is one of the most important decisions an artist makes in determining the outcome of their work. No matter your choice of medium, you can be confident Strathmore paper will enhance your artistic efforts. Review: Great addition to any art enthusiast - Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting your art journey, the Strathmore 400 Series Toned Gray Sketch Pad is one of those rare supplies that immediately changes how you think about drawing. It is a staple on my desk for several reasons. Why This Paper Is a Game Changer The Mid-Tone Magic: Starting with a cool gray background instead of a blinding white one does half the work for you. Since the paper acts as your "middle value," you only have to focus on adding your darkest shadows and brightest highlights. The Perfect "Tooth": The surface texture is smooth enough for fine detail work but has just enough grit (tooth) to grab onto graphite, colored pencils, and charcoal without it sliding around. Pop Your Highlights: This is where the paper shines. Using a white charcoal pencil or a white gel pen on this gray surface creates an incredible 3D effect that you just can't achieve on white paper. Sustainable Quality: It’s 100% recycled (containing 30% post-consumer fiber), yet it feels premium and acid-free, so your sketches won't yellow or degrade over time. Review: its ok! - i'd say get this if u are really into trying to do realism with colored pencils or wanting to try new sketch paper. I really liked it, the paper quality is ok, its a bit easily rip able but it was still good if u take ur time, not for my rushed drawers. Erasability on here sucks though I'm not going to lie it was really hard cause you have to be extremely fragile. ## Features - Medium surface toned grey sketch paper - Acid-free - Post-consumer fiber - For light and dark media - 80lb - 50 sheet pad - 9-x-12-inch ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B008D2TUYO | | Best Sellers Rank | #5,372 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #75 in Sketchbooks & Notebooks | | Brand | Strathmore | | Brand Name | Strathmore | | Color | Gray | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 11,242 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00012017412196, 40012017412194 | | Item Dimensions L x W | 12"L x 0.75"W | | Item Type Name | 400 Series Sketch | | Item Weight | 1.03 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Strathmore | | Material | Paper | | Material Type | Paper | | Paper Dimensions | 9 x 12 inches | | Paper Finish | Uncoated | | Paper Weight | 80 | | Product Dimensions | 12"L x 0.75"W | | Recommended Uses For Product | Sketching | | Sheet Count | 50 | | UPC | 722809145101 798256058752 223389752654 012017412196 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | No warranty. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Strathmore - **Color:** Gray - **Material:** Paper - **Paper Dimensions:** 9 x 12 inches - **Paper Finish:** Uncoated ## Images ![Toned Gray Sketch Pad 9X12 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/713yqy-9vDL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: has anyone tried to watercolor on it?** A: Yeah but watercolor works and looks best on white paper.
