Product Information

Full details

The Pennine A3 Drawing Pad is designed for students, artists, and hobbyists who require a reliable, large-format surface for sketching and creative drafting. It offers the key benefit of a spacious A3 canvas that accommodates detailed artwork and broad strokes alike, though users should note that the 70gsm paper is relatively thin, making it best suited for dry media like pencils and crayons rather than heavy wet media like watercolor.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this paper suitable for watercolors?

No, the 70gsm paper is too thin for wet media like watercolors and will likely buckle or tear.

Can I easily remove pages from this pad?

Yes, the glued binding is specifically designed to allow for clean and easy removal of individual sheets.

What is the weight of the paper?

The paper is 70gsm, which is ideal for sketching, pencils, and light marker work.

Does the pad contain acid-free paper?

The product specifications note high-quality white paper, but it is best stored away from direct sunlight to prevent long-term yellowing.

Is the cover waterproof?

No, the 250gsm cover is made of cardstock and should be kept away from liquids.

Troubleshooting

Pages are curling at the edges

Store the pad flat in a dry environment and avoid placing heavy objects unevenly on the cover.

Marker ink bleeding through the paper

Because the paper is 70gsm, place a scrap sheet of paper behind the page you are working on to protect the sheet underneath.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Generous A3 size is ideal for large-scale projects
  • Easy-tear glue binding simplifies page removal
  • Lightweight design makes it portable for classroom or studio use
  • High-quality 250gsm cover adds structural integrity

Cons

  • Paper weight (70gsm) is not suitable for heavy ink or wet paints
  • Limited page count might require frequent replacements for heavy users
  • No perforated edges, though glue binding serves a similar purpose

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using the pad, simply lay it flat on a stable surface. The glued binding allows you to peel pages back gently from the top edge if you wish to remove them. To care for your sketches, store the pad horizontally to prevent the pages from curling at the edges. When transporting, keep the pad inside a portfolio case or flat folder to ensure the 250gsm cover does not get creased. The pad is compatible with all standard drawing tools such as HB, 2B, or 6B pencils, charcoal sticks, and dry pastels.
