Introducing Strathmore 400 Series Bristol Paper—expertly crafted from 2-ply Bristol, providing a smooth, durable surface perfect for fine line and detailed drawings with pen, ink, and marker. A popular choice among illustrators & drawing artists because of a stiffer, museum quality surface that is ready to display without additional mounting. The term Bristol derives from the early days of European papermaking when mills would send their finest papers to Bristol, England to be pasted together to form heavyweight drawing sheets. Our Bristol Paper is available in two finishes: Smooth is excellent for fine line drawings using pen & ink or marker; Vellum is excellent for pencil, charcoal, and pastel, as well as airbrush and light washes. Our 400 Series is often easily recognized thanks to the iconic brown cover used across our fine art pads. Known for its dependable quality & time-tested durability, this series is a staple in the hands of art students & professional artists, from their first art class in middle school, through to high school competitions, collegiate course work & on to a career as a professional artist, fashion designer, architect, illustrator, animator or engineer.
