The Strathmore Series 300 Bristol Smooth Pad carries the legacy of one of the oldest paper traditions in Europe. The term “Bristol” originally referred to high-quality papers that mills would send to Bristol, England, to be laminated into heavier, sturdier sheets suitable for drawing. Today, Bristol paper remains a staple for artists who need a strong, smooth surface with minimal texture.
With 20 sheets of 270gsm, this pad offers an extremely smooth surface perfect for precise applications: pen & ink illustration, technical drawing, mechanical pencil, markers and airbrush. The lack of tooth allows lines to stay crisp and clean while giving you maximum control. Part of the Series 300, it provides reliable quality at a fair price and is fully acid-free to preserve finished artwork.
