Soft pastels, oil pastels, chalk, graphite, colored pencils, and even wet media like watercolor and gouache all perform reliably on this 98 lb. pulp-dyed paper.

High rag content and ISO 9706 compliance mean your work resists deterioration over time. The paper maintains structural integrity through layering and corrections without buckling or pilling. Glue-bound pads stay secure while you work, and sheets release cleanly when finished.

This assorted pad includes 24 sheets, four each of white, sand, red earth, dawn pink, flannel gray, and light blue. These neutral and earth tones provide immediate color foundations for portraits, landscapes, and figure studies. Start with a toned ground that eliminates stark white and establishes your composition's mood from the first stroke.
