Canson XL Watercolour Pad with Spiral Binding - Available in A5, A4 or A3
The Canson XL Watercolour Pad features 300 gsm paper, a key factor for watercolour painting. The paper plays an active role in the technique. Lightweight paper soaks up water too quickly, warps, and forms pools where water collects, making controlled gradients impossible. Many beginners struggle because they use unsuitable paper. The cold pressed (fine grain) surface offers a balance: enough texture to hold pigment and add depth to washes, yet smooth enough for details, fine lines and writing. This grain suits illustration, travel journals and detailed watercolour work.
Product Details:
- 300 gsm: holds surface water long enough to blend colours and create smooth gradients
- Spiral binding and micro-perforation: the pad lies flat and folds back on itself. Sheets detach cleanly at the exact size without leftover edges. Your watercolours are ready to display or frame.
- A5 size (14.8 x 21 cm), 20 sheets: a portable sketchbook.
- A4 size (21 x 29.7 cm), 30 sheets: a working size for illustration, studies, exercises or watercolours to frame.
- A3 size (29.7 x 42 cm), 30 sheets: a studio size for landscapes, compositions, large brushwork and presentation pieces.
- Uses: watercolour, ink, gouache, diluted acrylic, mixed media
- FSC certified paper
