Strathmore - 400 Series Acrylic Pads
Paint bold, layered acrylics on textured canvas paper built to hold up
Heavyweight canvas paper eliminates the need for stretching and priming while maintaining the textured surface acrylics demand. Strathmore engineered this 246 lb. substrate with a pronounced linen weave that grips paint aggressively, essential for impasto techniques and thick applications that might slide off smoother surfaces. The substantial weight prevents buckling under wet layers and handles repeated corrections without deteriorating.
Ten sheets per pad means you can experiment freely without the commitment of stretched canvas. Work through compositional studies, test color relationships, or explore techniques without worrying about wasting expensive materials. The acid-free construction ensures your successful pieces maintain their integrity over time rather than yellowing or becoming brittle.
This paper bridges the gap between sketch-quality surfaces and traditional canvas. Build up heavy texture, scrape back layers, apply glazes, the linen texture and robust construction handle aggressive techniques while the pad format keeps everything portable and accessible. Perfect for plein air sessions, classroom work, or studio experiments where you need canvas performance without canvas preparation.
