The 400 series Mixed Media is the same basic texture as the 500 series I tested here, but the 500 is 100% cotton. I prefer to test papers in real pieces rather than grids when possible.

This is an excellent review and your artwork is lovely! This post reviews homemade travel palettes. Colors dried bright and true, and deep darks were achieved easily. Have you used Strathmores 400 series?
