“Mylar?”

Yes. I use the ‘one side mat finish’ - it has good tooth...and can be ‘fixed’ with workable fixative as it progresses.

Holds the colors true - and is archival

(I like to experiment - I like Bristol board for pencil -
and I do silver point - have to prepare surface with several layers of gesso (easier than making rabbit glue and grinding down bones for powder like the Old Masters! ;)...)
