Working together with art teachers and professors, Canson developed their new XL line to provide excellent quality paper at an affordable price. The heavy sizing on the fine-textured XL Mix Media Pad paper makes it perfect for both wet and dry media, and the 98lb (160gsm) weight makes for a sturdy surface that can take light collage. Use it for anything from drawings and designs to washes and even paintings in watercolor or acrylic. With micro-perforated true size sheets in each wire-bound pad, you can create an entire body of work in just about any media you like!
