Astra Drawing Pad "Wednesday" in A4 format contains 20 sheets of uncoated drawing paper per pad and is supplied as a pack of 10 pads. The paper is designed for general drawing tasks and classroom use, providing a neutral surface suitable for pencil, graphite, charcoal, ink and light marker work. The pads are stapled at the top and offer easy page removal for display or copying. This product is intended for students, hobbyists and group activities where multiple pads are required for practice and projects.

How to use
Start by removing the front cover and selecting a sheet from the top of the pad. Use pencils, graphite sticks, charcoal or ink pens for sketching; when using ink or markers, test on a corner sheet first to check for bleed-through. For best results with dry media, keep hands clean and use a kneaded eraser to lift highlights without damaging the paper. Pages can be torn out along the staple edge for mounting, scanning or display.
Usage recommendations
Store pads flat in a dry environment to prevent warping. When working with ink or marker, place a protective sheet beneath the working page to avoid transferring media to lower sheets. For classroom distribution, allocate one pad per student for short exercises or share pads for longer projects to reduce waste.
