## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: Perfect charcoal and white chalk companion - I've been converted to using Strathmore paper since last year. It really is a beautifully made paper, it is not too smooth and not too textured, very well balanced. It works so well with charcoal and white chalk, the drawings sort come "come out' by themselves. It is also affordable.
Review: Excellent - I love this format. Adding whites makes highlights sparkle. Watercolour pencil works surprisingly well, smudged with a damp finger not with a brush. The colour sings out but the paper doesn’t buckle unless you use too much water. The small size is just right for a quick scribble. I used cretacolour oil sketching pencils at first, brown on grey. But now am more with sepia inks.
