Canson Xl Mix Media Pads

Description

Some might call it the workhorse of paper, for there is almost nothing these pads of white can't handle. Pen and pencil: you got it. Oil pastels or crayons: easy stuff. Watercolor colored pencils and ink: no problem. Glue and collage work; make me laugh. Markers and acrylic paint: piece of cake. The fine textured 98 lb (160 gsm) paper is truly versatile, and my "go to" for all art media sketching and practice work. You get a good blend of value and quality performance. Now, if you plan to apply a lot of water and washes, the paper will buckle a bit. I would suggest going to the toothier textured, heavier weight 113 lb (185 gsm) paper you'll find in the Rough pads. These offer a great surface for watercolors and pastels that really holds the pigment. Each spiral bound pad features perforated pages for easy tear out and a heavy-duty chipboard backing for extra structure. 60 sheets per pad. The Rough version has 50 sheets per pad. ~ Emily
