The Seawhite All-Media Cartridge Paper Pad is an ideal choice for students and professional artists who require a versatile, portable surface for mixed-media projects. Its key benefit is the 140gsm paper weight, which offers extra wet strength to handle both dry and light wet media without warping easily. One caveat to keep in mind is that while the paper handles light washes well, it is not a dedicated watercolor block, so excessive water saturation should be avoided to maintain the paper's integrity.

Yes, it is suitable for light watercolor washes and sketching, but it is not a heavy-duty watercolor paper and may buckle if heavily saturated.
Yes, the paper is acid-free, which helps prevent yellowing and degradation of your artwork over time.
Each pad contains 50 sheets.
Standard markers work well; however, heavy-solvent alcohol markers may bleed through, so test a small area first.
The paper is 140gsm, providing a balance between thickness and flexibility.
The Seawhite All-Media Cartridge Paper Pad is handmade in the UK.
Use less water in your mix, or secure the edges of the paper with low-tack artist tape before painting.
Apply a light artist-grade fixative spray after finishing your drawing to protect the surface.
Test the ink flow on the back of a spare sheet; avoid using high-solvent markers that are designed for bleed-proof paper.
Using this pad requires no complex setup; simply ensure you are working on a flat, stable surface. For optimal results, use artist tape to secure the edges if you plan on applying multiple layers of wet paint to keep the sheet flat as it dries. When storing the pad, keep it in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight to preserve the acid-free quality of the paper. Avoid using heavy-duty scrubbing brushes with excessive water, as this can strain the fibers of the 140gsm paper. If you notice slight buckling after using wet media, placing the dried artwork under a heavy, flat book for 24 hours will typically flatten the page.
