Strathmore(400-1 400 Series Drawing Pad, Medium Surface, 4"x6", 24 Sheets

Light & small so you can use it & draw easily. Paper is thicker than usual too so ink wont bleed through & also makes it durable in windy or rocky situations. Worth the price!!

Love the paper for my cards but making!

This tablet is perfect for keeping in a purse or backpack. The paper is thick and strong.The only issue is I wish there were more pages.

I love this little sketch book. It's the perfect size for on the go!

My granddaughter loves this art pad, it is small and easily fits in her purse. The paper is very compatible with her mechanical pencils. She can bring it anywhere because it is so light. And there are so many pages!

This is my go-to pad for field sketching. The paper is the right weight and tooth, and the pad fits well in one hand so I can sketch while standing. I wish a midtone version were readily available.

This paper is beyond what you might expect from drawing paper. It’s smooth, a creamy ivory color, and a pleasure to draw on - even takes a light application of watercolor without buckling. Who knew? I highly recommend it.

I am brand spanking new to watercolor and after catching a Pocket Sketching show on PBS, I bought this little pad of paper, along with the paints the artist on the show recommended. My original idea was to try and do what the show was teaching - quick drawings outdoors. However, I decided to instead try to teach myself how to do full paintings sitting on my couch. :)I’m giving this much info to explain that I knew absolutely nothing about watercolor painting. The pictures I’ve downloaded turned out surprisingly well...considering I laid down a lot of paint, stumbled on “lifting” paint when I made mistakes by basically scrubbing and dabbing with a clean wet brush to remove/edit the paint I laid down. This paper held up surprisingly well to my abuse! Sure it “pilled” in spots and seemed really worn thin...however, once the paper dried, the little pilled paper was able to be rubbed off with my finger and it didn’t affect the finished artwork at all. Because the paper warped due to the use of water, I simply placed it under a lot of heavy books once it dried and it became perfectly flat. The pictures were done using Winsor & Newton Cotman half pan watercolor paints.
