The Daler-Rowney A2 Soft White Drawing Paper is designed for both students and professional artists who require a reliable, versatile canvas for dry media applications. Its key benefit is the premium 150gsm weight combined with a smooth, acid-free finish that ensures longevity and consistent mark-making for detailed sketches, charcoal work, and pen drawings; however, because it is specifically formulated for dry techniques, it is not suitable for heavy wet media or watercolor washes.

Yes, the smooth, internally sized surface is excellent for fountain pens as it minimizes feathering and ink spread.
While it is designed for dry media, light marker work may be possible, but keep in mind that the ink may bleed through the back of the page.
The paper features a 'Soft White' or natural white tone, which is slightly warmer than a harsh, bleached white, making it easier on the eyes during long sessions.
Please check your specific product packaging, but Daler-Rowney drawing paper in this specification is commonly available in both loose-leaf and pad formats.
No, this is a 150gsm cartridge paper meant for dry media. Water-based media will cause the paper to ripple or warp.
Yes, as a sustainably sourced paper product, it can be recycled in most standard paper recycling streams provided it is free from excessive fixatives or non-paper media.
Use artist tape or clips to secure all four corners to a flat backing board.
Place a sheet of glassine paper between finished drawings to act as a protective barrier.
Ensure you are using a light touch during initial sketching; heavy pressure can compress the paper fibers making lines harder to lift.
To maximize the performance of your Daler-Rowney paper, store the sheets in a cool, dry environment, preferably flat in a portfolio or archival drawer to prevent curling. When working, secure the edges of the A2 sheet to a drawing board using low-tack artist tape to ensure a flat, stable surface. For the best results, use high-quality graphite or charcoal pencils and ensure your tools are sharpened appropriately for the desired line weight. When the work is complete, consider using a workable fixative spray to prevent smudging, especially if using soft charcoal or graphite materials.
