Frequently Asked Questions
What paper weight is this and will it handle wet media?
This is 130g (60lb) paper with a laid finish, designed primarily for dry techniques like pastel and charcoal. While it's cotton-based, it's not recommended for heavy watercolor or wet media—use watercolor paper for those instead.
Can I use fountain pens or calligraphy pens on this paper?
Yes, the laid finish and cotton composition work well with fountain pens and calligraphy pens. The smooth surface won't feather or bleed significantly, though the texture may create subtle effects depending on your pen nib.
How many sheets come in this pad?
This pad contains 25 sheets of paper, glued on the top edge for easy tearing.
What's the difference between this and regular sketch paper?
Clairefontaine Ingres Pastel Paper is cotton-based with a laid finish specifically designed for dry media like pastel and charcoal. It holds color exceptionally well and allows for blending and subtle layering that standard sketch paper doesn't support as effectively.
Is this paper suitable for mixed media?
This paper works best for dry techniques (pastel, charcoal, colored pencils, graphite) and can handle fountain pens and fine liners. Avoid heavy wet media, but light watercolor or ink washes may work depending on your technique.
