Review: Ultrasmooth feel, but has tooth - I was worried about the smoothness of the paper when I first opened it, but it has tooth. I needed paper to work on for an urgent project, but my usual mixed media paper is out of stock or on back-order everywhere. Having used other Canson papers and found them good, I thought I'd try this one. It is a little lighter weight than my usual one. Because I needed it urgently, I opened it immediately to see what it was like. The feel of the paper is SO smooth - it feels like the back of a photograph - and is the same on both sides. So I needed to try it out asap so I could order something else if necessary. I put the first layer on the ground section of this illustration using inktense pencils. There is tooth! The texture under a light layer of pencil is rather like one of the smoother hot press watercolour papers. I wet the pigment, just enough to activate it and get a watercolour-type effect. After the ground area dried, I put in the first layer of the rock wall (again in inktense pencil). This is the stage of the illustration in my photograph. Hopefully you can see the texture of the paper under the layer of pencil (the rock wall, grey), and what it looks like after activation and drying (the ground area, brown). Things to note: This paper is off-white; it is definitely NOT cream, it looks white, but my white pencil shows up on it. (Canson also does a bright white version, which has a different picture on the front, in case that helps you.) Although the paper seemed to buckle when it was wet, it has dried out flat. I left it on the table. The paper still feels pretty smooth after finishing the illustration. I got two layers of pencil/wetting/drying on this with no problems. This paper is 200gsm, but each sheet feels fairly thick for this weight of paper. But it's not porous. It feels like this would go through my printer (which does a U-shaped bend in the paper feed). I have yet to test what and how much this paper will take, and will be updating my review when I have. Bottom line is that I'm glad I bought this paper. It is as good as my usual paper, although it is a lighter weight. It feels deceptively smooth. Obviously, this is all based on my first impressions. If this stops being accurate, then I will update my review. Review: Great paper. - Love this paper. A good all rounder. No need to stretch paper when using watercolour or similar. Value for money and worth it. ## Features - Versatile medium ideal for both dry and wet techniques, such as gouache or watercolour - The light grain gives a relief effect and allows the artist to play with lights and shadows - Its natural white colour gives the paper excellent contrast and provides harmonious colours ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00CSLID5S | | Batteries | 1 A batteries required. | | Best Sellers Rank | 33,595 in Stationery & Office Supplies ( See Top 100 in Stationery & Office Supplies ) 193 in Loose Drawing Paper 2,067 in Paper (Stationery & Office Supplies) | | Brand | Canson | | Colour | White | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (11,897) | | Date First Available | 12 Jun. 2013 | | Item Weight | 2.86 kg | | Manufacturer | CANSON | | Manufacturer Part Number | 200006003 | | Material Type | Paper | | Model Number | 200006003 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Paper Finish | Smooth | | Paper Weight | 120 | | Product Dimensions | 59.4 x 42 x 1.5 cm; 2.86 kg | | Sheet Size | A2 | | Size | A2 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Canson - **Colour:** White - **Material:** Paper - **Paper finish:** Smooth - **Sheet size:** A2 ## Images ![Imagine A2 200g White Mixed Media Paper Pad, Light Grain, Markers, Brushes, Felt Tip-Pens, For Professional Artists & Illustrators - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81oAT4JXedL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ultrasmooth feel, but has tooth *by A***T on 25 June 2022* I was worried about the smoothness of the paper when I first opened it, but it has tooth.

No need to stretch paper when using watercolour or similar. Value for money and worth it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works with various mediums *by G***S on 9 June 2019* A great pad. I’m no professional artist but I’ve been using it for watercolour painting, coloured pencil art and graphite pencil sketches and it hasn’t let me down yet. The paper does buckle a bit when using watercolours but goes back into shape mostly when dry (my smaller pieces always end up a wee bit curved if they’ve been excessively soaked). It’s not artist quality, clearly but it gives you a lot of paper to work on and if you do what I do - cut the paper up into smaller pieces - then it can really last you well. I’ve supplied a few pictures of mine as an example to how the art comes out in it even for a beginner. I’d definitely buy again but I’ve still got quite a bit left so it’ll be a wee while yet.
