Oil Pastel Pad | 5.9 x 5.9 inch(123 lb/200g) | 50 Sheets Heavyweight Drawing Paper

Great thick paper and a perfect size! Oil pastels don't bleed through and the texture is perfect. Perfect for anyone to use!

I would say this is good paper if you're not looking to do anything too serious and just practising! I initially thought the paper looked a bit thin, and wondered if I would tear it after a few layers but it actually held up really well and is really smooth to work on! I also love that it comes in single sheets, and the size is great for small sketches. Noting that I've only used smooth oil pastels not sure if it would perform differently for other types!

I really have enjoyed using my these oil pastels on this paper. We have used them to make handmade cards for birthdays and holidays. They are a great size for it. The paper feels like good quality. It's durable and not easy to tear or bend, like you have to actually mean to tear it or bend it. I've used this paper with kiddos learning to use oil pastels and again, it's pretty durable I think. It's has some thickness. I'd by it again. I've also used gel pens on this paper and I like it! You could probably experiment with watercolors and acrylics as well to test it's versatility.

I bought these because they advertise for pastels but it is oil pastel paper or drawing paper. There is a difference. This paper size is great for small studies or if you just want to create something small. Even though it's not great for what I bought it for, I can get a couple layers of pastel. Pencils, oil pastels, they are fabulous. I will probably buy these again because I like the size and with a little clear gesso, I can make these work. The paper is pretty thick so a coat of gesso doesn't make it buckle. Recommend for oil pastels or pencils. The pic is with colored pencils and pan pastels.

Yes, I am very pleased with the size of these pads, the texture is almost cloth like, I'm also pleased with this. The color is a good background to start with, I'm looking forward to see how well it does in the long run. On the first order I received, the pad was damaged on the upper right corner but the company immediately sent me a replacement pad and it is a very nice thickness and using a 2.0hb graphite pencil with colored pencils it was smooth with very little smudging and that's a big plus to me! I recommend the purchase if small but done well is what you're looking for. I've uploaded a pic of a beginning drawing to give an idea of how easily to use it is. The texture gives way for the ability to draw with a depth of perception, I'm in hopes of, with confidence that the drawings will last on these papers.
