Canson "C à Grain A3 224g White Drawing & Sketching Paper Pad, 30 Sheets, Fine Grain Texture, Glued on Short Side, For Professional Artists

For those of you who love pencil drawing, Canson 'C' is a wonderfully prepared paper formula, in that it will respond well to the use of an eraser, repeatedly, without disintegrating. My style of drawing results in a B&W photo appearance. This calls for extensive use of blending stumps and eraser to achieve infinite gradations. The paper is tough and durable and will suffer much abuse. This being the case, it is highly recommended for those of us who are beginners, or very young and aggressive when using the tools of the trade. In addition to the above, although not sold as being suitable for water colour, it will accept it without falling apart. With just moderate skill, this paper will prove one of the easiest on which to produce a good deal of fruit for your labour. It may even make you a better artist, as it brings out the best in your work, when using 4 to 6B pencils.The seller is just about the quickest supplier in the whole of Amazon. My consignment was on its way within the hour and arrived the next day. They don't make mistakes very often, but if you make one, it will probably be irreversible, as the supplier is so quick off the mark.

I use it in my printer for art prints to sell. Good thing is the 2 different texture sides. One smoother than the other. Great for pen work and have used watercolour on it too, but only sparingly. I do like the off white colour. Classy paper. Thumbs up

Great paper and great value. Drags a little bit for me but I use a very fine fountain pen on it so no real surprises there and I go over a lot of my existing line work anyway so probably user error. Soaks up marker ink also quite well so as an all round do anything media its pretty blooming good.

This pad arrived securely packaged and in perfect condition.I like this paper so much that I ordered it in different sized pads.This is great. It's very affordable which is a definite bonus, and very good for experimenting on.I have mostly used pencil, graphite and charcoal with fineliners and ink. Absolutely no issues with any of these.I haven't tried acrylic paint yet but will pop back in a few weeks and update this review as necessary.for now, though, I am very pleased with this paper.I hope you find this review helpful, thanks for reading.

I wanted a paper sturdy enough to take pastel but not so thick it would jam in the printer. This did the job very nicely.

I'm an illustrator and this is my favourite paper by far. It takes the multiple layers of ink and pencil that I throw at it without degrading/going mushy, the colour is a good non-bright white (not too yellow), and it's relatively smooth - in fact I often use the wrong side as I don't like too much texture.

Great pad, one side of the paper is textured and the other is smooth so you have two types to pick from. It handles acrylic and watercolour well and makes pencil shading look more in depth and impactful on the textured side, this is my second pad from canson and would 100% recomend

I usually work with A2 or A1 paper and gouache, sometimes airbrush. At 224 gsm this paper in robust enough not to "pucker", when wet and is good quality. It has a fine grain, but not enough to be a problem, even when air brushing, in fact it probably helps the paint stick on. What else could you ask for.
