Art paper Clairefontaine 3329680960037 — 12 sheets, 360 g/m², 180 × 240 mm

Clairefontaine art paper pack containing 12 sheets, each 180 × 240 mm and 360 g/m². This heavyweight textured paper is designed for artists who need a sturdy, absorbent surface for traditional media. The compact block format makes it convenient for studio work, studies and finished illustrations where thickness and texture influence the result.

Advantages

The 360 g/m² weight provides stiffness and resistance to buckling when working with wet media such as ink and gouache. The textured surface holds dry media like pencil and charcoal with good tooth, while also accepting washes without excessive bleeding. Twelve sheets in a compact size offer a balance between practice and completed pieces, keeping storage and handling simple.

Suitable for

• Drawing and sketching with pencil, charcoal and pastel
• Ink and pen illustrations
• Gouache and opaque water-based paints
• Mixed media studies combining wet and dry techniques
• Finished small-format illustrations and mounted samples

Key specifications

How to use

Work on a flat, clean surface and secure the sheet if desired to prevent movement. For wet techniques such as ink washes or gouache, allow each layer to dry before applying the next to avoid unwanted blending. Use appropriate fixatives for charcoal or pastel once the artwork is complete, and mount or store sheets flat to preserve shape and texture.

Usage recommendations

For best results with gouache and ink, test media on a corner sheet to adjust dilution and drying time. When combining heavy washes with dry media, use light initial layers and build up contrast gradually to maintain surface integrity.
