This pad is specifically engineered for oil and acrylic paints. While it may handle light watercolor washes, it is not optimized for it and may buckle.
The paper is ready for use with acrylics, though some oil painters may prefer to add an extra layer of gesso depending on their specific style.
Each pad contains 15 sheets of 190GSM paper.
Yes, the paper quality is designed to maintain the integrity of your artwork over time.
It is recommended to paint on one side only to ensure the best texture and archival quality.
Avoid bending or folding the pad back on itself; keep the pad laid flat on a surface during use.
Ensure you are using appropriate acrylic or oil mediums and avoid excessive water dilution, which can compromise the structural integrity of the paper.
To maximize the life of your Foska painting pad, store it in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture absorption in the paper fibers. When using, place the pad on a flat, hard surface or mount it to a drawing board using clips or masking tape to ensure the sheet stays taut while painting. If you are working with oil paints, ensure you have applied a suitable primer if you require a specific non-absorbent ground, although the paper's finish is already optimized for standard acrylics. After completing your work, store the pad flat rather than vertically to prevent the glued binding from sagging over time.
