If you're an artist who thrives on both expression and personalization, then Strathmore Vision Custom Sketch Pads are your perfect creative companion. Available now atKing’s Framing and Art Gallery, these sketch pads are designed to elevate your artistry while giving you the freedom to make your sketchbook a canvas in itself.
Strathmore has long been recognized as a trusted name in fine art papers. The Vision series pushes this legacy even further by offering artists more than just paper—it offers a platform for personal artistic identity.
Here’s what makes Strathmore Vision Custom Sketch Pads truly special:
The first thing that sets these pads apart is the innovative, customizable cover. Beneath the removable flysheet lies a blank, heavyweight cover made of steel blue mixed-media paper. This isn’t just a sketch pad—it’s your first page, your first impression. You can draw, paint, or collage directly on the cover to reflect your artistic style and make it truly your own.
This level of customization isn't just fun; it’s also practical. Whether you’re presenting your sketchbook in a classroom, gallery, or just among peers, your unique cover becomes an immediate representation of your creative voice.
Inside the pad, you’ll find fine-tooth 50 lb. (74 g/m²), acid-free sketch paper designed specifically for dry media. It works beautifully with graphite pencils, coloured pencils, charcoal, pastels, and sketching sticks. The tooth of the paper gives just enough texture to grip your media while still allowing for smooth shading and detailed line work.
Thanks to its acid-free composition, your sketches will resist yellowing over time—ensuring your artwork remains as bold and crisp as the day it was created.
Artists on the move will love the durability of Strathmore Vision pads. With a strong chipboard backing and secure binding, these pads are built for travel. Whether you’re drawing outdoors, working on-the-go, or attending a sketching workshop, you’ll find the structure of these pads supports your creativity wherever it strikes.
