Full details

Featuring 32 sheets of 160GSM paper, this pad provides a sturdy, absorbent foundation for vibrant pigments and detailed brushwork. While its A4 size is excellent for portability and diverse projects, users should note that the 160GSM weight is best suited for light to medium washes rather than extremely heavy, multi-layered water applications.

FAQs

Can I use watercolor on this paper?

Yes, it works well with light watercolor washes, but remember that the 160GSM weight is optimized specifically for gouache, so avoid heavy water saturation.

Is the paper acid-free?

The paper is designed for artistic longevity; however, for specific archival storage requirements, store in a cool, dry place out of direct light.

How many sheets are in the pad?

The pad contains 32 sheets of high-quality 160GSM paper.

What are the dimensions of the paper?

The paper is standard A4 size, measuring 210mm x 297mm.

Can I remove pages without ruining them?

Yes, the spiral binding is designed to allow you to cleanly tear out pages for framing or presentation.

Troubleshooting

Paper warping or buckling

Reduce the water-to-paint ratio or use masking tape to secure the paper edges to a hard surface before painting.

Difficulty tearing pages

Ensure you are folding the page back against the perforated line firmly before applying a gentle, consistent pull to tear cleanly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get the best results, place the pad on a stable, flat surface before you begin. If you are using a significant amount of water, consider taping the edges of the sheet to your table to ensure the paper remains flat during drying. When cleaning your workspace, keep the remaining sheets protected from moisture. To care for your finished work, ensure the gouache is completely dry before closing the pad or stacking sheets, as gouache can be susceptible to smudging if stored prematurely. Store the pad in a dry, cool environment away from direct sunlight to prevent paper yellowing over time.
