At 250 g\/m² the cellulose stock behaves closer to illustration board than standard drawing paper — remaining flat under moderate to heavy water exposure and handling overlapping layers of watercolor, acrylic, gouache, and heavy Indian ink without tearing, pilling, or warping. The dual-sided surface design gives a high-tooth grained face for dry media including pastel, chalk, charcoal, and graphite, and a flat smooth reverse for precision calligraphy, technical fineliners, and ink wash detail work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe A4 format covers studio assignments, portfolio entries, and daily multi-media projects at a manageable scale. Top-glued binding for clean, damage-free sheet separation. Acid-free, pH-neutral, and PEFC certified for long-term archival stability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTechnical Details\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: A4 — Sheet count: 20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaper weight: 250 g\/m²\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaper composition: 100% cellulose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaper color: Extra-white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurface: Dual-sided — raised grain front, smooth reverse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBinding: Top glued — clean tear, no fraying\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended media: Watercolor, acrylic, gouache, heavy Indian ink, fineliner, charcoal, soft pastel, colored pencil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertification: PEFC certified — acid-free, pH-neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCommon Questions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the 250 g\/m² weight compare to standard drawing pads?\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard multi-technique pads typically run between 90–160 g\/m². At 250 g\/m², the Paint-ON stock is significantly thicker and more structurally rigid — closer to illustration board — giving it substantially better resistance to buckling under heavy wet media applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCan full watercolor washes be applied without the paper warping?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The 250 g\/m² weight handles moderate to heavy watercolor washes without significant warping. For very large pooled washes on the A4 format, allowing each layer to dry fully before applying the next minimizes any minor surface movement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhich surface side is best for mixed wet and dry work in the same piece?\u003c\/strong\u003e The grained front face works best as the primary working surface for mixed technique — the tooth grips dry media while still absorbing wet media effectively. The smooth reverse is better suited when precision ink or marker work is the primary technique.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Clairefontaine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51783009993053,"sku":"3329689750493","price":4100.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/4405\/4621\/files\/Clairefontaine-Paint-ON-Multi-Techniques-A-Grain-Pad-A4-250g-20-sheets_All_5367_4.jpg?v=1722303975","url":"https:\/\/unfide.com\/sv\/products\/clairefontaine-paint-on-multi-techniques-a-grain-pad-a4-250g-20-sheets","provider":"UNFADE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
