We reached out to one of our art educators about your question and this is what she came back with: "I would describe the 500 Bristol Vellum as having a more prominent texture than Stonehenge. The 500 Bristol Vellum's texture is also very regular- it has more of an even, distinct pattern. The Stonehenge paper doesn't have a regular pattern, the texture is more like the texture on Strathmore's 500 Mixed Media. Also, Stonehenge has a softer surface than the 500 Bristol Vellum, so the texture flattens out a bit more when you shade on it vs. the 500 Bristol Vellum which has a firmer surface and therefore holds its texture more during shading (which makes the texture more prominent when you draw/shade on it.) **Q: Is this cold press Bristol?** A: This is a Plate surface Bristol so it would be more like a hot press than a cold. **Q: Good for pencil ?** A: Thanks for writing to us, our 500 Series Bristol Plate works well with graphite pencil, pen & ink, marker, mixed media and collage **Q: What paper do you recommend for fine detail like Zentangles using micron pens. It also needs to be heavyweight for making tiles.** A: I use my Strathmore 500 primarily for colored pencil but did find the Micron lay down was smooth with no skips. I would want a heavier wait for tiles. ## Frequently Bought Together - Strathmore (580-62 500 Series Bristol, 2-Ply Vellum Surface, 11"x14", White, 15 Sheets - Staedtler Mars Lumograph Black, Carbon Blend Provides Jet Black Lines, Professional Art Pencils, Tin of 6 Assorted Black Sketch Pencils, 100B G6 - Pentel Graph Gear 500 Premium Mechanical --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/16986207-580-62-500-series-bristol-2-ply-vellum-surface-11x14](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/16986207-580-62-500-series-bristol-2-ply-vellum-surface-11x14) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-03*
