Strathmore 400 Series Sketch Pad – 5.5 x 8.5 Inch & 9 x 12 Inch

 

A sketch pad needs to handle repeated practice, erasing, layering and quick studies without making the drawing process feel cumbersome. Strathmore 400 Series Sketch paper provides a fine-tooth surface suited to everyday dry-media techniques and preliminary artwork.

The wire-bound format makes individual pages easy to access while keeping the pad practical for classes, studio sessions and field sketching. The smaller format is convenient for portable work, while the 9 x 12 inch format provides more room for detailed studies and finished sketches.
