NEW! Strathmore Vision Pads

We are excited to introduce a brand new line of art pads called Strathmore Vision.

When developing this new line of pads, we listened to feedback from artists and built in the most requested features, which include:

CUSTOMIZABLE COVERS:
Artists told us they want to personalize their covers with their own art, so for the first time ever our pads have a navy tear-off top sheet that reveals a heavyweight, blank cover made from high quality, 184lb (300gsm) steel blue mixed media paper!

QUALITY + DURABILITY:
These pads are substantial. They feature extra high sheet counts, a heavy-duty chipboard backing, and durable binding so you can put them through the paces.
