Review: Strathmore 400 - Great paper, have used this for years and maybe best all around sketchbooks - Excellent paper for drawing with graphite pencils/sticks, pen and ink, wash and have also used these books extensively with acrylic paint using flow medium, colored ink washes and gouache. Over the years, have filled at least 20 of these books in different sizes. One thing - It's not watercolor paper and is a bit thin. I tape wax paper between sheets if doing dip pen, wet acrylic washes, or alcohol markers as this paper will bleed or soak through. Have also put clear coats of acrylic gesso on the paper to allow more layers of acrylic. The paper being lighter weight is a minor inconvenience and not a complaint. Great for drawing, life studies and really recommend this paper. Canson XL multimedia is a bit thicker and also good paper, but this stuff takes almost anything that can be done to it. Wire binding holds up pretty well to a lot of use and sometimes abuse being carried around in bags and luggage, or stacked when not in use. The only 400 products I am not as keen on are the toned grey, good for pencil, ink wash but not color. Took one softcover book on a trip to France and great for pen and ink sketcing and studies using kid's tempera gouache that's sold at the Casino markets. The toned tan is good mostly for pencil/graphite and with a white pencil for highlights. Works well for portraits.
Review: Smooth surface and crisp detailing - Excellent paper quality for pencil sketches as lines appear clean and details remain crisp complimented by polished shading. The 60 lb paper is smooth and ideal for framing. The Sketchbook is spiral bound which makes it more comfortable when drawing and helps to keep the pages from creasing. It is a nice improvement to the Strathmore 300 series. The sturdy cardboard backing makes portability a breeze. All around great value for the money.
