The durability was great because I have a lot of traveling to do. In my option the paper was amazing for my sketches. I did so watercolors and the paper absorbed it all. Overall, its a rly good paper pad for a design class. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thick and smooth *by on Reviewed in the United States June 14, 2026* Nice thick smooth paper,I used acrylic paint on it and it went on very well. There was no issues also great for using with pencil sketching and even lite water colors without it running through. I bought it strictly for my acrylic paintings it worked out well and used this for paintings for my scrapbook as I use canvas for my more serious paintings. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice paper for crafting *by on Reviewed in the United States June 28, 2026* Sturdy smooth craft paper. Using with Lavinia card making. They are very easy to work inks on. ## Frequently Bought Together - Strathmore 300 Series Bristol Paper Pad, Smooth, Tape Bound, 9x12 inches, 20 Sheets (100lb/270g) - Artist Paper for Adults and Students - Markers, Pen and Ink - SAKURA Pigma Micron Fineliner Pens - Archival Black Ink Pens - Pens for Writing, Drawing, or Bullet Journaling - Assorted Point Sizes - 6 Pack - Strathmore 300 Series Tracing Paper Pad, Tape Bound, 9x12 inches, 50 Sheets (25lb/41g) - Artist Paper for Adults and Students --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/3763358-300-series-tape-bound-bristol-pad-100-lb-smooth-surface](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/3763358-300-series-tape-bound-bristol-pad-100-lb-smooth-surface) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-15*
