We have been asking for if you see "Smooth" Newsprint printed on the cover of the pad, not your personal impressions of the texture. So what is it?

This is “SMOOTH” newsprint regardless if the picture posted.

The title says smooth, newsprint paper but the picture shows rough surface. Is this a smooth surface pad?

It is a smooth surface. I do not recommend to buy this one.

Would the rough texture be good for oil pastels?

It’s too soft a texture for pastels. This is more for sketching and charcoal.

Does it becomes yellow over time?

Yes Tne cover is Yellow All the Rt
