How to use

Use the pad by opening to a clean sheet and securing it on a flat surface or clipboard for stability. The paper accepts pencils, graphite sticks, ink pens, fineliners and charcoal; for light washes or mixed techniques, test compatibility on a corner sheet first. When finished, flip pages to continue work or tear out carefully along the staple if you need to remove a sheet. Store the pad flat or upright to protect the cover and preserve sheet condition.

Usage recommendations

For best results with pen and ink or charcoal, work on a clean, dry surface and keep an eraser and blending tool nearby. When using light washes, avoid heavy amounts of liquid; allow sheets to dry between applications to prevent buckling. Replace the pad after substantial use to ensure consistent paper quality for ongoing practice.
