Paper pad CANSON Acrylic C31067P000 — 400 g/m² canvas grain, 10 sheets, glued on short side, 180 x 240 mm

CANSON Acrylic paper pad C31067P000 is a 10-sheet pad of heavyweight 400 g/m² paper with a canvas grain texture, sized 180 x 240 mm and glued on the short side. The surface is designed to accept acrylic paints and mixed media, offering improved paint adhesion and tactile feedback similar to a primed canvas. The compact format and robust sheet weight make this pad suitable for studies, sketches, and small finished pieces where control of brushwork and layering is required.

Advantages

The textured canvas grain enhances mechanical tooth for better paint grip, reducing paint slippage and allowing controlled brushstrokes and layering. At 400 g/m² the paper is thick enough to resist cockling and buckling from wet applications, while remaining portable and easy to mount or frame. Glued on the short side, sheets can be removed cleanly for display or scanning.

Suitable for

• Acrylic painting exercises and small compositions
• Mixed media studies combining acrylics with dry materials
• Student practice, sketching, and technique development
• Portable plein air or travel work in small format

When it may not be suitable

This pad is not intended as a replacement for primed stretched canvas for large-scale or gallery-grade oil paintings; its sheet size and paper support impose practical limits on very large or heavily textured works. Extremely heavy impasto techniques that require thick tooth and structural support may exceed the paper's capacity despite its heavyweight rating.

Key specifications

• Paper weight: 400 g/m²
• Surface texture: canvas (Leinwand) grain
• Sheet size: 180 x 240 mm
• Sheets per pad: 10
• Binding: glued on the short side

How to use

Work directly on the textured side; the canvas grain supports brush control and layering. For heavier wet applications, apply paint in thinner layers and allow drying between layers to limit buckling. Remove sheets by gently lifting from the glued edge; if cleaner edges are required, use a sharp blade or straightedge to cut along the glued edge. For display, mount or stretch the sheet onto a rigid backing or frame to prevent deformation over time.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that 180 x 240 mm sheet size matches your project needs
• Consider whether 10 sheets provide sufficient quantity for practice or production
• Decide if canvas-textured paper is appropriate for your chosen techniques (e.g., heavy impasto vs thin layers)

Usage recommendations

Use medium-bodied acrylics and work in layers, allowing adequate drying time. For archival results, use compatible primers or fixatives when combining with other media, and store finished sheets flat or mounted to maintain surface integrity.
