Fabriano - 1264 Drawing Pads

1264 Drawing Pads

Execute intricate pencil work that erases perfectly clean every time

Medium texture meets smooth finish in these Italian-made drawing pads, engineered for artists who work in dry media but need the flexibility for occasional light washes. The 75 lb. weight handles pencil, charcoal, and pastel with a surface that holds detail while erasing cleanly, critical when you're refining a drawing through multiple passes. Step up to 90 lb. sheets when your work incorporates light watercolor washes or wet media accents alongside dry techniques.

Fabriano's acid-free surface maintains that distinctive silky quality that lets graphite and colored pencil glide without catching, while still providing enough tooth for charcoal and pastel to grip. The soft white base keeps colors true without the stark brightness that can make value judgments difficult. Spiral binding keeps pages flat while you work, and micro-perforations mean finished pieces tear out cleanly when you're ready to present or frame them.

Made in Italy using hydroelectric power and FSC-certified materials, these pads balance environmental responsibility with the consistent quality Fabriano has delivered since 1264. Choose your weight based on technique: 75 lb. for pure dry media work, 90 lb. when you need a surface that can handle both.
