Review: High-Quality Paper That Makes Painting a Joy - I absolutely love the Strathmore 400 watercolour hardbound book. The 300gsm cold-pressed paper is thick and durable, handling washes and layering without buckling, and the texture gives just the right amount of grip for watercolours. Colours blend beautifully and stay vibrant, and the hardbound format makes it feel really sturdy and professional while also protecting the pages. It’s a great size to work with and feels ideal for both finished pieces and practice. Overall, it’s high quality and a real pleasure to paint in. ## Features - Fine Grain Toned Sketch Paper - Acid Free - 30 Percent Post Consumer Fiber - For light and dark dry media - Paper - 100 Percent recycled with 30 Percent post consumer fibre ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B008D2TUYO | | Best Sellers Rank | 34,071 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) 149 in Drawing Pads & Books | | Brand Name | Strathmore | | Colour | grey | | Country Of Origin | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (9,563) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00012017412196, 40012017412194 | | Item Dimensions L x W | 30.5L x 22.9W centimetres | | Item Type Name | Artist Sketchbook | | Item Weight | 1.03 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Pro-Art | | Material Type | Paper | | Paper Finish | Uncoated | | Paper Weight | 80 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Sketch | | Sheet Count | 50 | | UPC | 722809145101 798256058752 223389752654 012017412196 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Strathmore - **Colour:** grey - **Material:** Paper - **Paper Dimensions:** 9 x 12 in - **Paper finish:** Uncoated ## Images ![Strathmore 400 Toned 118gsm Paper Spiral Bound Sketchpad, Fine Grain, 9 x 12 in, 50 Grey Sheets, For Professionals & Students - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/713yqy-9vDL.jpg) ![Strathmore 400 Toned 118gsm Paper Spiral Bound Sketchpad, Fine Grain, 9 x 12 in, 50 Grey Sheets, For Professionals & Students - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61JRh3fVjkL.jpg) ![Strathmore 400 Toned 118gsm Paper Spiral Bound Sketchpad, Fine Grain, 9 x 12 in, 50 Grey Sheets, For Professionals & Students - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31I2wrXQrNL.jpg) ![Strathmore 400 Toned 118gsm Paper Spiral Bound Sketchpad, Fine Grain, 9 x 12 in, 50 Grey Sheets, For Professionals & Students - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91AkY7jzsmL.jpg) ![Strathmore 400 Toned 118gsm Paper Spiral Bound Sketchpad, Fine Grain, 9 x 12 in, 50 Grey Sheets, For Professionals & Students - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81lhs0KWwtL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: has anyone tried to watercolor on it?** A: Yeah but watercolor works and looks best on white paper.

I have never tried drawing on toned paper before and was curious to try it. It really brings my drawings to life as it enables you to bring out more depth with white highlighting. For portraiture it creates a really unique a pop to all the details. You also get a good amount of sheets so I imagine it will take me some time to get through it and I will most certainly enjoy doing so. I will definitely be repurchasing! ## Frequently Bought Together - Strathmore 400 Series Sketch Pad, Toned Gray, 9x12 inch, 50 Sheets - Artist Sketchbook for Drawing, Illustration, Art Class Students - Strathmore 400 Series Sketch Pad, Toned Tan, 9x12 inch, 50 Sheets - Artist Sketchbook for Drawing, Illustration, Art Class Students - Strathmore 400 Series Sketch Pad, Toned Blue, 9x12 inch, 50 Sheets - Artist Sketchbook for Drawing, Illustration, Art Class 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.ae/products/47986209-strathmore-400-toned-118gsm-paper-spiral-bound-sketchpad-fine-grain](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/47986209-strathmore-400-toned-118gsm-paper-spiral-bound-sketchpad-fine-grain) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
