Strathmore 300 Series Charcoal Paper Pad, Top Wire Bound, 18x24 inches, 24 Sheets (64lb/95g) - Artist Paper for Adults and Students - Charcoal and Pastel

Good price. Good quality. As expected.

Perfect for what I need. Has a very nice thickness. Holds the charcoal well. I’m loving it.

This is a go-to paper for me. I love working in charcoal and this has an excellent tooth, which is valuable in three ways.1. It can hold a large build-up of charcoal for getting extremely deep, dark shadows.2. It can stand a lot of reworking and erasing without showing any damage or unwanted texture in the final work. That's hard with charcoal.3. It can handle a lot of blending and rubbing without loosing its texture and ability to hold charcoal.I go through this pretty quickly. It's a favorite. This is the one most commonly recommended by teachers I've studied under, justifiably so. As one teacher said, you don't want to fight the materials. If you give 100% effort to a material that can only give you 85%, you'll only get 85% results. Go with quality. This is going to give you 100%.

This was purchased for my soft pastel learning journey. I bought this larger sized pad to do big projects and also to cut down for smaller ones...for this it's a great value! Quality & thickness was what I was expecting. The paper is smooth. Really good for my work.

when it first arrived I pulled it out of the box and the sheets fell out of the pad and slid all across my floor. However, other than that occurring, the pad is very nice to use and the paper is very high quality.

Lovely sheets

My daughter does a lot of charcoal art pieces. And she loves it. Definitely at the end spray lightly with spray for pencil and charcoal so it does not smear.

I love how easy this paper is to work with. While it is expensive, it's worth paying for quality paper that takes the charcoal well and holds up to the chamois and kneaded eraser.
