Canson XL Mixed Media Pads

I used to get another brand (more expensive) in a size no longer available, so I gave this a try on recommendation from the staff. It's excellent. The size is perfect for what I often use it for (folding in half to make greeting cards.) The paper is a bit thinner than the other brand I used, but it is still plenty thick, in fact I prefer it a little thinner, folds easier but is still plenty sturdy enough. And so far, no bleed thru (using ink pens, and water-based brush pens.) The paper is has a good brightness, not glaring, but enough for good contrast. Also, the perforation is excellent, holds together well, yet is super easy to tear off cleanly. The backing paper board is very thick and sturdy. AND the price is super good!

Perfect for what I want!

Good service.

My daughter handed down this mixed-media pad to me. I like it for pencil sketching, and for practice doodles which I have to do a lot of! For watercolour pencils and watercolours, this paper is okay but not as good as watercolour paper.
