Spontaneous, everyday practice, sketching is a popular technique with artists on the move. You need to be able to draw a figure, erase and start again, wherever you are. So, with fairly bulky paper, a fine or smooth grain, a practical format, a good pencil and an eraser - it's time for you to sketch! 

Enhance your artistic style with sketching paper 

The first step towards a beautiful illustration is choosing your sketching paper. Your sketch paper will define the nature of your drawing, so you need to choose a medium that suits the way you work. 
Canson® sketching papers are available in a range of sizes, formats and weights to complement all your artistic work. You're sure to find the right version to bring all your ideas to life! 

Illustrate your daily reflections on life 

It's essential to have a good quality medium to show off your artistic talents, and that's why our sketching papers are designed to help you illustrate your world down to the smallest detail. 
Unlike drawing paper, sketching paper is lighter and more suitable for sketching and all the artistic experiments you can undertake on the go. 
Canson® sketching paper, available in thick pads, gives you a particularly pleasant surface to work on. Whichever you choose, our sketching paper has a light texture that responds very well to your pencil and readily accepts the colours you use. 

Select the sketching paper that's right for you

Whatever your style, Canson® paper gives you room to express your artistic spirit! It is ideal for dry techniques such as pencil or charcoal and lends itself ideally to sketches, studies and other kinds of illustrations.
