CansonXL Sand Grain Dry Mixed Media 160gsm Natural-Coloured Paper A4 Landscape Drawing Pad with Sandpaper-Like Finish, Spiral-bound with 40 Sheets, Ideal for Professional Artists & Students

Good paper, very, I used with oil pastel, came from Australia to USA, excellent packaging.

ordered from Australia as not available in USA. packaged very well. arrived in perfect condition. Would order it again!

I tried the Sand Grain for the first time and I'm still getting used to it. I sense that it works best when pan pastel is applied first as an under coat. For those who use a lot of layers, this is pretty good. I'm still testing it out to see if I prefer this over Mi-Tientes paper.

Great paper

Rather thin weight

Great for textured drawing and pastel practice. However I should have checked the price at other art stores. Blicks has it for 7 bucks.

Reported this defect to amazon when trying to return the item via chat service. They informed me the company sending this product would contact me within 3 days which still has not happened. I've put bricks/ weights on the product to try and flatten the pages which as a consumer I shouldn't be required to do. This is the first time this has happened and I'm very disappointed.

Texture is quite smooth, not sandpaper-like. It’s a very misleading title and description. Only takes a couple of layers of pastel before it just smears.There are a couple of reviews saying it worked well, but the photos don’t back that up on my opinion.

Perfect paper to start to learn soft pastel. Grippy, able to hold a decent amount of layers and relatively cheap.

Erg mooi papier.Houdt houtskool goed vast.Prachtige structuur.

Paper made me think of pastelmat. I love using my polychromo's on it. Added bonus paper handles solvent without pilling or bleeding. Mine did bc I wanted to see if it could handle a dripping wet brush; yes it does; ofcourse that is not recommended how to blend. Just know it can handle that. When using any solvent I would recommend you to put a cardstock sheet under it;just to prevent contamination on next page if you want to keep it in the block. Paper works great with Jaxons oil pastel. I use a rubber blending tool for it. Derwent drawing works like a dream on it; I still have me a bit of a learning curve with lightfast pencils but will test those separatly. Compliments to Canson for this paper. I recommend it for beginners and not selling artist for practise and study. When selling just use archival paper for your own peace of mind; Im not at that point yet, so Im happy with this. #Netherlands

More expensive here but good quality and I enjoy using it but why are we paying so much more for it than other countries
