Strathmore 400 Series Visual Journal Bristol Smooth

Smooth Bristol paper is useful when your artwork depends on clean lines, controlled marks and an even surface. The Strathmore 400 Series Bristol Smooth Visual Journal provides a smooth 260 gsm surface for pen and ink, markers, coloured pencil, graphite and other detailed techniques.

The heavy-duty cover and reinforced wire binding allow the journal to lie flat and open 360 degrees, making it easy to work through pages without fighting the binding. The compact format works well for portable illustration and marker studies, while the 9 x 12 inch format gives more space for detailed compositions and finished work.
