Core Specifications

• Paper Weight: 300 gsm (140 lb) heavyweight stock, which provides sufficient thickness to handle heavy water washes with minimal warping or buckling.

• Sheet Count: Typically contains 10 sheets per pad.

• Available Formats: Common standard sizes include A5, A4, A3, and A2.

• Paper Quality: Acid-free construction to prevent yellowing over time and preserve paint vibrancy.

• Textures Available:

  • Cold-Pressed (Not): Features a subtle tooth/medium grain that grips paint easily, making it suitable for standard washes, wet-on-wet work, and soft gradients.

  • Hot-Pressed: Features a smooth finish ideal for fine botanical detail, pen-and-wash work, ink drawings, and tight illustrations.
