Clairefontaine Paint On Natural Pads are made within the Clairefontaine paper mill in Meurthe, France. The pads contain 30 pages of long natural unbleached virgin fibres,  making this paper 100% natural and bio-degradable. It is also PEFC certified from sourced, recyclable materials so it is very eco-friendly and has a unique mechanical strength and flexibility. The sheets are pH neutral and acid-free. Each page is 250gsm and is great for charcoal, pencils and all mixed-media as it retains pigments well. It is a very resistant paper and can also be used for wet techniques such as acrylic and gouache. The paper is brown in colour and smooth with a slight texture and similar to cartridge paper.

The Clairefontaine Paint On Pad is cut-edge which provides a clean edge to the paper. The cover is paperback with a cardboard back to provide a harder surface to work on. The bind is glued in and produces a straight edge when ripped out of the pad; it can also open-flat. The book isn't too thick and it’s ideal for artists of all abilities.

We recommend that this pad is perfect for mixed-media techniques and works especially well with charcoal and pens. Because it is 250gsm it is a thick weight and can easily be used for wet techniques such as acrylic because it is a very resistant paper.
