Elevate Your Art with Premium Toned Paper
The Strathmore 400 Series Toned Gray Sketch Pad provides artists in India with a premium 5.5x8.5 inch, 50-sheet sketchbook featuring heavyweight, 100% recycled paper in a cool gray tone. This mid-tone background enhances the vibrancy of both light and dark drawing media, allowing for dynamic sketches and illustrations with striking highlights and shadows. Imported for discerning artists, this pad offers a superior surface for your creative endeavors.
This sketch paper is designed for versatility, performing exceptionally well with graphite, chalk, charcoal, sketching sticks, markers, China markers, colored pencils, pens, and white gel pens. The medium drawing surface includes subtle fiber inclusions for added visual interest, making each page a unique canvas. Its toned gray hue helps artists achieve quicker results and more impactful artwork by making added highlights and deep shadows pop effectively.
Compared to typical Indian art paper, this Strathmore pad offers a consistent, high-quality surface that resists buckling and feathering, even with wet media.

The Strathmore Difference: Quality Paper for Artists
Strathmore has been crafting high-performing art papers for over 125 years, understanding that paper is an artist's most crucial choice. This 400 Series Toned Gray Sketch Pad is made in the USA, offering a unique mid-tone surface that elevates your artwork by making highlights and shadows stand out. Its recycled content and medium drawing surface with fiber inclusions provide visual interest and versatility for various dry media, ensuring your artistic efforts are enhanced by superior paper quality.
Who Should Choose This Pad & Who Might Look Elsewhere
This pad is perfect for artists, illustrators, and art students in India who work with graphite, charcoal, markers, colored pencils, or pens and desire a mid-tone surface for dynamic contrast. It's ideal for sketching, illustration, and art class assignments. However, if you primarily use heavy wet media like watercolor or gouache, a dedicated watercolor paper with a higher GSM would be more suitable to prevent buckling. Those needing very large formats should consider larger sketchbooks.
