Foska A3 Top Glued Open Acrylic Painting Pad

Ensure the paint is completely dry. Gently slide a thin, flat tool, such as a palette knife or ruler, under the top edge of the painted sheet and lift carefully to separate it from the glued binding.

This pad is specifically designed for acrylics and may not be suitable for oil paints, which require different surfaces and mediums. It's best to use it with acrylics, gouache, or tempera.

The Foska A3 Top Glued Open Acrylic Painting Pad contains 15 sheets of paper.

The A3 size measures 297mm x 420mm (approximately 11.7 x 16.5 inches).

This paper is best suited for acrylics. While it can handle light applications of markers or ink, heavy use of water-based mediums may cause buckling or bleed-through. Test on a small area first.

While not explicitly stated in the product description, professional art papers are often acid-free to ensure longevity. However, for critical archival work, further verification might be needed.

This pad is excellent for layering, impasto techniques, glazing, and washes typical of acrylic painting. The paper's weight supports textured applications without warping.

Ensure you are not using excessive amounts of water or liquid mediums. For heavy acrylic applications, consider stretching the paper or using a heavier weight paper if available. Allow each layer to dry thoroughly before applying the next.

Ensure the glue is fully separated from the page. Try using a finer, flatter tool to ease the separation. If the paint is very thick, ensure it is fully dry before attempting removal, as wet paint can adhere to the glue.

This pad is optimized for acrylics. If experiencing issues, ensure your acrylic paint is of good quality and not heavily diluted. You may test a small corner with your specific paint medium to confirm compatibility.
