Strathmore Toned Tan and Grey Sketchbooks are made and produced with smooth toned cartridge paper. The Pad contains 50 sheets of sketching paper in size 9 x 12 inch and 24 sheets. in size 11 x 14 inch. These sheets have a neutral pH size (internally) which makes them genuinely acid-free, as well as being 118gsm (80lb) which is designed to be used with Pens, Pencils, Charcoal and Oil Pastels. The paper has a Smooth surface that is designed to be used for sketching with both light and dark media.

Strathmore Toned Sketchbooks are cut-edge which provides a clean edge to the paper. The cover is paperback and is fairly thick stock for durability. The bind is spiral, and the paper inside is either a Warm Toned Grey or a Sandy Toned Tan. This pad is slightly thick and a great accessory if you are interested in journaling, sketching or pastel work notebooks. The book is a great pad for any artist at any level.

We recommend that this pad is perfect for most dry techniques and works especially well with pens & pencils and pastels. Because it is 118gsm (80lb) it is a lightweight paper and won’t take watercolour or any other similar wet technique well and the paper will easily buckle. We would suggest any dry medium, however pastels and sketching materials will be the best with this product.
