300 Series Bristol Pad, Vellum Finish, Tape Binding, 20 Sheet, 9×12 inch, Pack of 3

Bristol generally describes a heavyweight drawing paper. Bristol sheets provide a stiff, strong surface to work on without the need for mounting. The term Bristol derives from the early days of European papermaking when mills would send their finest papers to Bristol, England to be pasted together to form heavyweight drawing sheets. Our 300 Series Bristol paper is a popular choice among many artists because of the quality paper at a very reasonable price. It comes in a number of pad sizes, loose sheets, & large rolls. It is a ‘bristol weight’ at 100lb. (270gsm), & is perfect for finished art. Look for it in smooth & vellum surfaces.
