I reviewed the Marco C820 a few weeks ago, but given the palette and the light tones, I was unable to complete artwork and so stated that I would combine both pencils when I reviewed the Marco Square C800. If you would like to see the review of the Marco C820 you can do so by following the link. The paper that I completed this artwork on was Strathmore 300 Series Bristol Velum, a gorgeous paper and really inexpensive.
