CANSON Acrylic Drawing Pad C31067P006 — 400 g/m² canvas textured paper, 10 sheets, glued on long side

CANSON Acrylic Drawing Pad C31067P006 contains 10 sheets of 400 g/m² canvas-textured drawing paper sized 380 x 460 mm, glued on the long side for convenient page handling. The heavy-weight, textured surface is formulated to accept acrylics, gesso, collage materials and other mixed-media techniques that require a sturdy, absorbent support. The pad construction keeps pages secure while allowing clean removal when needed.

Advantages

The 400 g/m² weight provides dimensional stability and resistance to buckling under heavy-bodied paints and repeated wet layering. The canvas texture offers tooth that improves paint adhesion and surface grip for both brush and palette knife techniques. Gluing along the long side ensures predictable tearing and easier access to individual sheets while the pad format protects unused pages during storage and transport.

Suitable for

• Acrylic painting with heavy-bodied and fluid acrylics
• Gesso priming and underpainting
• Mixed-media work including collage and paper layering
• Wet techniques such as glazing, washes and scumbling with quick drying
• Sketches and studies requiring a textured, heavyweight support

When it may not be suitable

The pad is designed primarily for acrylics and mixed media; it may be over-specified for light pencil, fine graphite rendering or delicate ink drawing where a smoother, lighter paper is preferred. Extremely heavy impasto work that builds significant thickness over large areas may still benefit from a rigid panel or board for long-term support.

Key specifications

• Paper weight: 400 g/m²
• Surface texture: canvas (linen) grain
• Sheet count: 10 sheets
• Orientation: glued on the long side
• Sheet size: 380 x 460 mm
• Suitable media: acrylics, gesso, collage, mixed media, wet techniques

How to use

Select a single sheet by gently lifting at the glued edge and peel along the long side to separate cleanly. For heavier paint application, consider applying a layer of gesso to increase tooth and reduce absorption. Allow successive layers to dry between applications to avoid excessive warping. Use a rigid board or backing underneath the sheet when working with heavy impasto or when using a palette knife to maintain a flat working surface.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the sheet size (380 x 460 mm) fits your intended framing or mounting workflow.
• Assess whether 10 sheets meet your project needs or if a larger supply is required.
• Decide if canvas texture and 400 g/m² weight match your chosen media and techniques.

Usage recommendations

Store the pad flat in a dry environment to maintain sheet flatness. When working with wet media, use intermittent drying and a supportive backing; for final works intended for long-term display, consider mounting the sheet onto a rigid support to prevent future deformation.
