Canson constructs these mix media books for artists who work across techniques without switching surfaces. The 138 lb (224 gsm) heavyweight paper handles wet and dry media equally well, watercolor washes won't buckle the sheets, while colored pencil and graphite grip cleanly without excessive tooth fighting your strokes. Acid-free stock without optical brightening agents means your work maintains its intended color values rather than shifting as additives degrade over time.

Double wire binding keeps pages secure during aggressive wet techniques while still allowing sheets to lie completely flat when working. Micro-perforations let you remove finished pieces cleanly without ragged edges. The removable technique sheet provides reference for various media applications, then functions as a bookmark once you've absorbed the information. Durable heavyweight covers protect your work between sessions and provide firm backing when working away from the studio. Available in top-wire or side-wire configurations to match your working preference, top-wire for vertical compositions, side-wire for horizontal layouts.
