Canvas paper pads and painting pads for acrylic, oil and watercolour, in A3 and A4. Our acrylic and oil pads have pre-primed, canvas-feel paper you can paint straight onto, and each sheet tears out cleanly when it's finished.
For watercolour there's our 100% cotton, cold pressed 300gsm pad and a smooth hot pressed pad, and heavyweight mixed media pads take light washes alongside dry media.
Heavy paper with a primed, canvas-textured surface. The paint sits on top instead of soaking in, so it handles much like canvas, but it's lighter, costs less and stores flat.
Not ours. The acrylic and oil pads are pre-primed, so you can paint straight from the tube. The coated surface keeps paint, including oil, sitting on top instead of soaking through to the back.
Cold pressed paper has a light texture that holds washes and lets colour settle into the grain. Hot pressed paper is smooth, which suits fine detail, botanical painting and pen and wash.
Cotton takes up water evenly, so washes dry without hard edges and the sheet stays flatter. It also stands up to lifting, scraping and repeated layers, and the cold pressed surface has a light texture that holds a wash well.
A mixed media pad is the one to carry if you switch between drawing and painting, as it takes dry media and light to moderate washes. For heavy washes or thick paint, use the pad made for that medium.
