This paper works really well for the project I am working on and with my colored pencils.

Simply the best and always my choice for both pen and ink drawings and colored pencil. I ususally use the plate finish which gives a smooth, subtle finish.

I highly recommend Strathmore Bristol series 500. I use it for my pencil and charcoal artwork and I love the texture. This type of Bristol has nice tooth that taks enough medium and it's not too rough.

Great paper, I use it for all my work. I like the fast service and my paper was packed very well.

500 series 'plate' Bristol board is an excellent surface for use with technical pens. It handles a lot of reworking--but will not tolerate bending and twisting. The MisterArt shipping department treats it with great respect.
