Drawing Pads(5)

Available in a variety of shapes, sizes and thicknesses, finding the right type of paper for your art project is key to getting the results you’re after. Whether you prefer to use a sketchbook, a drawing pad or a versatile scrapbook, you’ll find a variety of options perfect for your personal art style and chosen art materials.

Watercolour paints, sketching pencils, pastels and charcoal all perform differently depending on the type of paper you use. The thickness of the drawing pad paper and the texture of the pages can influence the way that the artwork looks. If you love to change up your style, mixed media sketch pads and visual diaries are both versatile choices, while watercolour pads are designed with the consistency of the paints in mind.

Whether you prefer to draw and paint on a smaller scale or like to create larger works of art, there’s a great range of different sized sketch pads and sketchbooks available. Opt for a compact A6 or A5 sketchbook if you love to doodle on the go, choose an A3 or A4 sketchbook to create works perfectly sized for display in standard frames or enjoy the challenge provided by working with larger A1 and A2 sketchbooks.
