This Caran d'Ache Colouring Pad A5 Special Edition is for artists and hobbyists seeking a unique coloring experience inspired by nature. Its key benefit is the dual-paper format, offering distinct surfaces for different coloring techniques, though it's important to note the fluorescent colors perform best on white pages. This pad features 20 exclusive A5 illustrations by Swiss artist Ambre Verschaeve, a mix of white and dark blue paper, and premium 200 g/m² acid-free, FSC-certified paper.

The paper is 200 g/m², natural grain, acid-free, and FSC-certified cartridge paper.
The pad includes 20 pages, with 14 white sheets and 6 dark blue sheets.
The dark blue pages are specifically designed to make fluorescent and neon colors appear more vibrant and striking.
Yes, you can use watercolors, but it's recommended to use them sparingly to avoid excessive buckling due to the paper's weight. Heavy application may cause the paper to warp.
Yes, the pages are perforated along the top edge for easy and clean removal from the spiral binding.
The pad is A5 size, measuring 14.8 x 21 cm.
The illustrations are by Swiss artist Ambre Verschaeve.
Use markers with a lighter hand or consider placing a protective sheet of paper behind the page you are coloring. For extensive marker use, the white pages are generally more resilient than standard paper.
Apply wet media like watercolors sparingly. For heavier applications, consider lightly stretching the paper before coloring or using a fixative after completion.
Gently pull the page along the perforation line, ensuring an even pull. If a page tears unevenly, carefully trim the edge with scissors.
Setup: This coloring pad requires no setup. Simply open to the desired page and begin coloring. The spiral binding allows the pad to lay flat, making it easy to work on each illustration.
Compatibility: The paper is compatible with a wide range of coloring mediums including colored pencils, markers, pastels, ink, and watercolors (though heavy application of wet media may cause buckling). The dark blue pages are specifically designed to enhance the vibrancy of fluorescent and neon colors. White pages are suitable for all standard coloring techniques.
Care: Store the pad in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the paper quality and the integrity of the illustrations. Handle the pages with care, especially when removing them from the spiral binding. Avoid excessive moisture, which can damage the paper.
