Strathmore Assorted Color Pastel Paper Pad 18x24 – 24 Sheets vs Uart Sanded Pastel Art Paper 9 x 12, off-white, 600 grit, 10 sheets
Overall winner: Uart Sanded Pastel Art Paper 9 x 12, off-white, 600 grit, 10 sheets
Key Differences
Strathmore A is a larger glue-bound 18x24 pad with many more sheets and a lower listed price tier, appealing for larger-format pastel work and value; Uart B is smaller (9x12) sanded 600-grit paper designed to hold many layers and accept wet media, but comes in fewer sheets and may curl. Choose Strathmore for larger size, textured surface and higher review volume; choose Uart for sanded surface and superior layer-holding durability/versatility
