Canson XL Series Drawing Paper, Black, Wirebound Pad, 11x14 inches, 40 Sheets (92lb/150g) - Artist Paper for Adults and Students - Colored Pencil, Ink, Pastel, Marker

I am a beginner at artwork. I’ve used drawing pads for my teaching bible class to children. I mainly focused on my lessons and put it in these drawing pads. It was my blackboard. I wanted to try drawing with colored pencil. Since I’m a beginner I needed something that would erase easily. It has worked very well. I’ve used some sharpie thin line markers and it has not bled through unless you leave it standing a while then it might. But all in all it has done very well. I am pleased. For once I’m using these pads for drawing. I cannot complain.

Bought this pad for my niece, she loves to draw and use all kinds of mixed media and this paper is sturdy for her to go crazy.

So that speaks to their quality. He will not use any other brand. Im not familiar enough with different papers to know the difference, but his continual use of this brand speaks well.

This paper is wonderful for making something stand out. It is sturdy and stands against my heavy hand without leaving a dent in the next page. Very much recommend.

nice

This book was exactly what I wanted and expected. Its great.

I really like the black paper, the texture is really nice for pastels and I love the way the pastel colors looked on it. I would have liked the thickness to be a little more, but that wont keep me from purchasing this product again, a great product. Im including a drawing created with pastel chalk, I like the way it turned out on this paper.

The top coiled version of this paper is short grain, which makes it wonderful for bookbinding, but this left side coil bound pad has a long grain and limits its use in binding hard cover books. The paper is amazing though! Even writing with a fountain pen, the paper takes the ink well. Just enough texture to making pencil sketching easy, and thick enough to allow for some correcting those occasional mistakes.

I assumed this would be a very thick paper. It is not. But it works great and does not leak through. I am not sure if I can use paint on this paper. It might seep through.

Great quality!
