Clairefontaine Paint'ON Black Paper Pad 20 Sheets A3

Key features

The Clairefontaine Paint'ON Black Paper Pad is a flexible ally for artists who like to mix media on a single sheet. With its 250 gsm heavyweight, the paper supports multiple coats without tearing, making it ideal for layered colours and textures. The slightly rough grain enhances colour depth and helps pigments sit firmly on the surface. This pad is 100% cellulose and acid free, which means your drawings can be preserved over time without degradation. The shade of black gives designs a vibrant contrast, bringing out iridescent and luminous effects. Each page is bound in a glue‑sticked pad that keeps works secure and easy to detach when needed. Overall, it delivers reliable performance for both quick sketches and more finished pieces, offering good absorption and minimal warping under wet techniques. You’ll notice that you can comfortably switch between pencils, markers, gouache, ink or acrylics without compromising the finish. The pad is compact for transport while still offering a generous A3 surface for detailed work. It’s a value‑driven choice for students and hobbyists who want quality without paying premium prices, and the PEFC certification underscores an environmentally aware option. 🖌️✨
