The Strathmore 400 Mix Media Pad is designed for artists who want the flexibility to work with various wet and dry media in a single pad. Here are some of its key features:

1. Paper Type: This pad is part of the Strathmore 400 Series, known for its quality art paper. It is designed specifically for mixed media applications, allowing artists to work with both wet and dry media on the same sheet.
2. Paper Weight: The paper in this pad is heavyweight, with a thickness of 300gsm (grams per square meter). This thickness indicates the paper’s sturdiness and its ability to handle wet media without excessive warping or deterioration.
3. Sheet Count: The pad contains 15 sheets, providing plenty of opportunities for artists to experiment with different techniques and create multiple artworks.
4. Size: The pad measures 27.9×35.5cm, offering a reasonably sized canvas for artistic creations.
5. Mixed Media Capabilities: What sets this paper apart is its ability to handle both wet and dry media effectively. It combines the characteristics of watercolor paper, which is designed to handle water-based media like watercolors and gouache, with the finish of a drawing sheet. This combination allows artists to paint with watercolors, apply inks, use markers, or work with dry media like pencils and pastels on the same sheet.
6. Versatile Formats and Sizes: The Strathmore 400 Mix Media series offers a full range of formats and sizes, providing artists with options to suit their preferences and project requirements.

This pad is an excellent choice for artists who like to explore a variety of artistic techniques and media in their work. The ability to seamlessly transition from wet to dry media on the same sheet can be highly convenient and creatively stimulating. With its heavyweight paper, it can stand up to the demands of mixed media applications while allowing artists to experiment with their creativity.
