Alcohol markers demand paper that won't buckle, bleed through, or feather when you're building saturated color. This 160gsm bleedproof pad delivers that stability. The smooth, heavy surface prevents ink from penetrating through to the next sheet, which means you can actually use both sides of each page, doubling your working area and making the 25-sheet pad go further. Multiple layers blend cleanly without the paper breaking down or colors turning muddy.

Gum binding keeps sheets secure while you work but releases cleanly when you're ready to remove finished pieces. The smooth texture suits precise linework and controlled blending equally well, whether you're rendering comic panels, developing illustration concepts, or practicing calligraphy letterforms. Winsor & Newton engineered this paper specifically for alcohol-based markers, addressing the bleed-through and feathering issues that make standard sketch paper frustrating for marker work. You get a surface that handles the aggressive solvents and saturated pigments these markers deliver, maintaining crisp edges and clean color transitions from first stroke to final detail.
