When it comes to the basics of getting started on a new project, you are going to need a blank slate, or, to be more specific, an art paper pad. Some say that there is a tyranny of the unmarked page, that it is difficult to muster up the courage to get started when you have nothing but white paper looking back at you.
Fresh Portals of Discovery
But, to look at it another way, artist pads also can be seen as the beginnings of what may become wonderfully realised creations some time down the line. Having good quality sketch paper to hand is crucial to the artist of practically any level. You have to get going somewhere, somehow. And those pads of clean paper will often be where it all begins.
High Quality Paper
There is a marked difference though in experimenting on good quality paper and poor-quality paper, and it is because we know this that we have a fine selection of artist pads for you to choose from.
Great Variety
There is a lovely range available here, so that you will find the right paper for different kinds of art and sketching such as graphic paper, drawing paper, pastel paper, watercolour paper, painting paper and more!
