Canson XL Sketch Pad - A5, A4, or A3 Size

Canson XL Sketch Pad: the pad for daily drawing. You don't improve by drawing well: you improve by drawing a lot. That's the whole logic behind the XL Sketch Pad, the absolute reference in art schools and studios: quality paper in large quantities, at a price that doesn't hold you back. You turn the page without thinking, you make mistakes, you start over? That's how it works.

The fine grain is what distinguishes true sketch paper from printer paper. It grips the pencil just enough to give substance to the line without hindering it. You achieve clean hatching, consistent grays, and a fluid gesture. Another quality of this paper is its excellent erasability. The XL Sketch paper withstands repeated erasing without fraying, without glossing, and without tearing — you can erase an area and redraw over it without the pencil smudging. For exploratory work, where you search for the right line by erasing ten times, this is crucial.

Features:

• Metal spiral: the pad opens flat and folds completely onto itself. You can draw on your lap, standing, outdoors, without having to hold the page.
• Micro-perforation "real size": the sheet detaches cleanly at the exact announced size — no residual strip, no torn edge. Your works are immediately presentable or frameable.
• A5 size (14.8 x 21 cm), 60 sheets: the portable notebook.
• A4 size (21 x 29.7 cm), 120 sheets: the working format (classes, exercises, research...)
• A3 size (29.7 x 42 cm), 120 sheets: the studio format (for large gestures, life drawing sketches...)
• Fine grain: 90 g/m²
• Uses: Pencil, graphite, charcoal, dry pastel, markers, light ink
