Mixed Media Illustration Paper Pad — 250gsm
24,90 €
Versatile 250gsm paper suitable for watercolor, ink, pencil, and mixed media techniques. Professional weight for serious artists.
Built for Many Techniques
This mixed media paper pad gives artists who switch between techniques the ideal surface to work on. At 250 grams per square meter, it's hefty enough to take wet media without buckling, yet still responds nicely to dry media like pencils and colored pastels. Every pad holds 30 sheets of quality paper in A4 (21 x 29.7 cm), leaving plenty of room for finished work or detailed studies.
A gentle cold-pressed texture gives the paper enough tooth for pencil and charcoal while staying smooth enough for fine detail. The sizing is tuned to take watercolor washes beautifully, letting pigments bloom naturally and hold their brightness. At the same time, the surface grips ink from technical pens and markers without feathering, so it's just as at home with illustration and calligraphy.
Archival Quality Built to Last
Made from a blend of cotton and wood fiber, the paper offers excellent archival properties. Its acid-free build keeps your artwork from yellowing or breaking down over the years, so your work stays preserved for decades. The faintly off-white tone flatters most media, lending a soft warmth without the glare of bright white paper.
Whether you're roughing out early compositions, finishing watercolor paintings, or playing with mixed media layers, this paper holds up every time. Plenty of professional illustrators in the Netherlands reach for this pad for client work and portfolio pieces. It erases well under pencil and lifts cleanly with certain techniques, giving you room to maneuver as you work.

Using & Caring for It
This pad gets along beautifully with watercolors, acrylics, inks, colored pencils, graphite, charcoal, and any mix of them. Thanks to the 250gsm weight, there's no need to stretch the paper before wet media — it stays flat. If you expect to erase later, begin with light pencil sketches, since the paper rubs out cleanly.
Keep your pad somewhere dry and cool, out of direct sun, to hold onto the paper's color and quality. Store it flat or upright, and steer clear of folding or creasing the sheets. The lightly textured surface can gather dust over time; a soft cloth brushed across it clears that away. When a piece is done, think about keeping it in an archival-safe portfolio or frame to shield it from the elements and help it last for generations.
