Winsor & Newton - Pastel Paper Pads (Gummed)
Pastel Paper Pads (Gummed)
Dual-surface paper for textured or blended pastel work
Grained texture on one side grips soft pastels firmly enough for layering; flip the sheet over for smoother work with pastel pencils or charcoal. This dual-surface approach gives you options without switching pads mid-project. The 160 gsm weight strikes a practical balance, substantial enough to handle aggressive mark-making and layering without buckling, light enough to remain workable for mounting or framing.
Winsor & Newton mills this paper acid-free with light-resistant properties that protect finished pieces from fading. Each gum-bound pad contains 24 sheets across 6 toned colors, either Earth or Gray schemes depending on your palette needs. Toned grounds eliminate the intimidation of blank white paper while providing mid-values that let both highlights and shadows read clearly. Sheets detach cleanly from the gummed binding, ready for framing or portfolio presentation.
The textured side holds multiple pastel layers without filling completely, essential for building rich color depth. Pastel pencils, charcoal, and colored pencils all perform reliably on either surface. Whether working through color studies or developing finished compositions, you get archival quality at a pad format that encourages experimentation without precious-materials anxiety.
