Variations in Size and Construction
Small sketches are helpful when creating a large project, allowing you to tack or tape up small sheets around your main canvas. Small Canson sketch pads are also perfect for bringing along on a vacation or to class, so you can make a quick drawing whenever inspiration hits. Spiral designs hold each page tightly together and lay flat for easy sketching on a table or easel. Consider wireless designs of Canson drawing pads, which can be slid into your backpack without snagging on other materials.
Drawing Tools
Experiment with different forms of media by considering different types of Canson drawing paper. Black pastel sheets allow bright colors to pop as you use pastels, chalk, colored pencils and more. Remove sheets of paper from your pad for use with origami or for scrapbooking purposes. Watercolors don't work with thin sheets of paper, often causing them to deteriorate. Ensure that you can paint freely for hours with watercolor sheets that absorb colors and display them brightly for a beautiful masterpiece.
