Clairefontaine Cray'ON Multicolour A4 sketch paper pad 160 g/m² 30 sheets

Clairefontaine Cray'ON Multicolour A4 sketch paper pad 160 g/m² 30 sheets provides a ready-to-use pack of multicolour A4 sheets designed for drawing and mixed-media sketches. Each sheet measures 210 x 297 mm and has a weight of 160 g/m², delivering a firm, slightly textured surface that supports dry media such as pencils, coloured pencils, crayons and charcoal, as well as light wet techniques and pastel work. The pad is glued along the short edge for easy sheet removal and tidy storage of finished pieces.

Advantages

The paper pad combines multicolour sheets with a consistent 160 g/m² weight to give artists and students a visually varied background while maintaining uniform handling characteristics. The medium-weight paper resists quick buckling when used with minimal moisture and accepts layering of dry media without excessive smudging. The glued binding allows individual sheets to be detached cleanly, and the A4 format fits standard folders, portfolios and school supplies.

Suitable for

• Sketching and preliminary studies with pencil, charcoal and ink
• Colouring and illustrative work with coloured pencils and crayons
• Light mixed-media techniques and pastel drawings
• School projects, craft activities and concept sketches

How to use

Select a sheet from the glued pad and tear it off along the glued edge or detach gently to avoid tearing. Use pencils, coloured pencils, crayons, charcoal or pastels directly on the textured surface; apply light washes or water-based markers sparingly to avoid over-saturation. Allow any applied wet media to dry flat to minimise curling. Store unused sheets flat in a dry place to preserve surface quality.

Usage recommendations

For best results with light wet techniques, test your chosen media on a corner of a sheet first. Use fixative sprays for charcoal and pastel work to reduce smudging, and keep heavier wet media to a minimum to prevent buckling of 160 g/m² paper.
