Clairefontaine Paint'ON Multimedia Pads

The ultimate mixed media option for any artist!
The heavy-weight 250gsm paper is ideal for most types of wet and dry mediums and the unique surfaces in the Paint'On range allow you to get the finest details right the first time. Resistant to scratching, the heavy weight and good absorption of the papers allows for multiple layers without buckling. 
White: Features a very light grain and is excellent for creating precise drawings.
Black: Provides wonderful contrasts and the slightly rough grain provides a depth which will enhance works in lighter colours.
Grained: Two distinctive surfaces. One side has a pronounced grain to give character to creations. The other side is smooth and is dedicated to precise drawings. 
Natural: A cream/ivory shade. The fine, rough grain of this paper will give a beautiful ground to your work, and can be used to give it a softer edge.
Grey: Features a fine rough grain and lends itself to highlighting work. It will give depth and character to colour shades, particularly white. 
Denim: Natural blue-grey mineral colour is very suitable for various techniques, such as drawing, pastel, Indian ink, watercolour or oil painting.
Grey Green: Natural mineral shade of an original grey/green is ideal for use with pastel, ink, watercolours etc. A very soft colour that will emphasize the depth of black lines and the brightness of light colours, particularly whites.
Smooth: Smooth white paper ideal for illustrations and technical drawings. 
Recycled: An extra white, 100% recycled paper with smooth surface. It is ideal for all wet and dry techniques and its thickness makes it a good choice for folding and gluing. Also suitable for laser and inkjet printing.
Misca: Speckled paper manufactured from Elephant Grass fibres. Slightly rough white surface with a natural grain. Adds depth to graphic illustrations. Ideal for use with pencil, sanguine, pastels and gouache. 
Terracotta: A warm and intense rust brown shade that will give depth to drawings. The warm and deep colour gives works a timeless natural aspect, particularly when using lighter colours or white.
