Bristol is a heavyweight paper with a controlled surface, designed for techniques that require a stable, low-absorbency support. The smooth finish suits ink, pen, marker and detailed illustration, where a consistent surface allows for clean, precise linework. The vellum finish offers a slight texture that holds pencil and dry pastel better while retaining the structural quality of Bristol. The large-format coloured paper sheets round out the selection for those who want to work on a tinted ground with opaque media, without having to prepare the surface beforehand. A set of solid supports for illustration, lettering, comics and mixed media. For more options, explore our Sketch & Drawing Paper and Paper & Pads collections.
