Strathmore Drawing Paper Medium Surface

Designed for consistency, durability, and performance, the Strathmore Medium Surface Drawing Pad is a trusted choice for artists, illustrators, and students. The medium-tooth texture provides excellent grip for dry media while allowing smooth blending, shading, and clean erasing without tearing or pilling.

Each acid-free sheet is engineered to withstand repeated erasing and layering, making it suitable for practice sketches, studies, and finished artwork. The convenient glue-bound pad with flip-over cover/backing board offers stable support whether you’re working at a desk, classroom, or studio.

Available in two sheet-count variations, this pad delivers professional-quality paper in a practical, portable format—made in the USA and widely used across Strathmore’s popular drawing pad ranges.
