Review: Excellent quality paper for sketching and colouring pencils - I draw using pencils and also use colouring pencils and this paper is perfect. It is smooth as opposed to course but still a thick good quality albeit less than coarse cartridge paper, so it's great for colouring pencils and sketching. The pages are easily torn out, colours and shading glide on smoothly. Overall a great product and good value for anyone who likes to sketch or colour. The pages might be too thin for paint or watercolours though where a thicker coarse paper might be more suitable. Review: great paper - My go-to paper for printing colouring pages ## Features - Light grain which allows thin, sharp lines and a homogeneous blurring - Withstands repeated erasing and will not flake - Extra white paper to highlight lines and give light to the drawing ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0018DIC26 | | Best Sellers Rank | 140,526 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) 456 in Drawing Pads & Books | | Brand | Canson | | Brand Name | Canson | | Colour | White | | Country Of Origin | France | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,720 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 03148951274143 | | Item Dimensions L x W | 29.7L x 21W centimetres | | Item Type Name | Sketching paper | | Item Weight | 0.4 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | CANSON | | Material | Paper | | Material Type | Paper | | Paper Dimensions | A4 | | Paper Finish | Matte | | Paper Weight | 18 | | Paper finish | Matte | | Product Warranty | 2 Year Manufacturer Guarantee | | Product dimensions | 29.7L x 21W centimetres | | Recommended Uses For Product | Drawing | | Sheet Count | 30 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Canson - **Colour:** White - **Material:** Paper - **Sheet size:** A4 - 21 x 29,7 cm - **Paper finish:** Matte ## Images ![CANSON 1557 Extra White 180gsm A4 Drawing Paper 30 Sheets | Light Grain, Glued Short Side, For Professional Artists & Illustrators - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71KyW4fXy4L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this paper suitable for watercolour and washes?** A: To some extent lots of paper is suitable - but as a cartridge paper it will be. Note that it is 'white' so you might consider it a bit harsh, and look for paper which is a faint cream. It's a matter of choice. (Why not experiment? Being too set in your mind can hinder your progress) **Q: Is this paper any good for tracing with a light box** A: I’ve never tried, but I think the paper might be too thick to see through. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent quality paper for sketching and colouring pencils *by L***A on 17 July 2020* I draw using pencils and also use colouring pencils and this paper is perfect.
