This machine-made fine art paper is ideal for a variety of media including etching, silkscreen, drawing, watercolor, printmaking, pen and ink, pencil and pastel. The 90 lb. surface is smooth and even with a slight tooth that resembles vellum. The unfinished 70 pt. cover of this pad invites personalization and the spiral-bound design allows you to fold both covers back for easy balancing and grasping – also allowing the pad to lie perfectly flat so drawings can sprawl across the pages.Made in the USA. 100% cotton.
