My new favorite paper!
Posted by Mary Syms on Feb 26th 2018
I learned about the Fisher 400 paper through the Brush and Pencil website but it was hard to find anywhere. Someone recommended ProArt Panels and I’ve been in heaven since! The quality is wonderful and it’s my new favorite paper for colored pencil! The detail I achieve is something I never expected on sanded paper.

Fantastic paper, now my must-have
Posted by Unknown on Oct 31st 2017
This is one of the best papers I have ever used, for anything, EVER. If you use any dry media techniques requiring a lot of layers, this paper handles it like a champ. I never did count how many I got on my last project, and I didn't even use fixative in between. No need. As I was drawing I completely forgot the usual considerations with layering. It just kept taking as much pastel pencil as I could throw at it. I love love love that it doesn't have any discernible pattern in the tooth so I wasn't fighting against grainy patches. I used Sofft pastel tools to blend out the pencil, and it looked just beautiful with very little effort. Scribble the pencil on however you want--it blends out smooth and perfect.
The only issue I have is that the paper curls a bit, but it will lay and tape flat just fine. The curl only became a problem trying to keep the paper on a vertically-mounted light box. Because of the curl, the paper kept popping out of the tape, but possibly the paper is just too heavy for the tape I was using at the time. It would be nice to have a lighter watermark or nothing at all on the back, as the Fisher 400 writing interferes with seeing other images through a lightbox, but the paper isn't at all hard to see through otherwise.
If you work in dry media techniques that need papers with some tooth, GET THIS PAPER.

Fabulous paper
Posted by Carol Conrad on Mar 12th 2013
I have just started using this fabulous paper. I tried to get some when I was in the UK, but it is not stocked in stores and is only available on line I think. I can't say enough about how great I think this is; by far the best paper I have tried to date. I have always used another popular make, but it's Fisher for me from now on. It seems to take an unlimited amount of soft pastel layers and I love that it takes liquid for underpainting.
