About Strathmore 300 Series Mixed Media Paper Pad
Overall Feedback:
89% positive
66% appreciated minimal bleed and feathering, but 34% experienced excessive spreading
In this sketchbook, watercolor paper does not ghost or bleed. Although, the pages warp slightly, but it becomes minimal if closed after drying and something heavy is placed on top of it.
I haven't used the sketchbook much yet, but I feel that most things should work fine with no bleedthrough.
It is recommended to use water sparingly while using watercolor as too much of it can cause bleeding through the page.
Alcohol pens bleed through to the other side and there is slight bowing with light watercolor.
86% liked the size and thickness
I find the size of the paper appealing and the smoother page texture feels great under my 2mm soft lead mechanical pencil.
78% praised the smooth surface texture, but 22% found it too rough
The pages have a smooth surface texture and are bright, white, and hot press.
When the page got wet with paint, it curled up pretty badly.
