Paint Block / Drawing Pad KOH-I-NOOR A3 10 sheets white

KOH-I-NOOR A3 paint block contains 10 white sheets sized A3, designed for drawing, sketching and light painting. The pad format keeps sheets together for easy transport and storage, allowing artists, students and hobbyists to work on single pages or tear sheets out as needed. Paper weight and surface are suitable for dry media and light wet techniques, providing a versatile substrate for practice, studies and finished pieces.

Advantages

The block offers consistent sheet size and edge alignment for neat presentation and easier framing. Its compact pad construction protects sheets from bending during transport and enables quick access to individual pages. The surface texture is balanced to accept pencils, charcoal, pastels and light washes without excessive feathering or warping when used properly.

Suitable for

• Sketching and figure studies
• Pencil, charcoal and pastel work
• Light watercolor washes and ink sketches
• Art classes, workshops and study sessions
• Portable on-the-go drawing and outdoor sketches

How to use

Select a sheet from the block and secure it on a drawing board or flat surface if you need extra stability. Use pencils, charcoal, graphite sticks or pastels directly on the medium-textured surface. For light washes, apply small amounts of water and test on a corner first to check for buckling; allow sheets to dry flat to minimize warping. Tear sheets out along the bound edge when you need to remove a page for scanning, framing or sending to class.

Usage recommendations

For best results, pair the pad with medium-soft pencils, vine charcoal or soft pastels and avoid heavy water saturation. When using water-based media, work with minimal moisture and dry flat; mount or back with a heavier board if you plan to preserve or frame the artwork.
