Canson Artist Series Mi-Teintes Pastel Paper, Earth Tones, Foldover Pad, 9x12 inches, 24 Sheets (98lb/160g) - Artist Paper for Adults and Students, Beige

Review of this product pertains only to using with Oil Pastel medium. This paper works extremely well with Oil Pastels, mostly independent of the pastel quality: mid-range grades of o. pastels (haiya Ruebens) are much easier to blend and layer, as are Harder o.pastels (CrayPas, eg). Sennelier and similar softer brands deliver outstanding results: The Brightness of certain colors are particularly enhanced. On the rougher paper side, the Tooth thickness allows more layering than the Canson Water Color stock I typically use - Indeed, I had to relearn many color application techniques I highly recommend this product, even to beginners in the Oil Pastel media. It is not terribly expensive and is definitely easier to work with compared to most substrates.

Love canson, been using these on the smooth side of the paper for pastels.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I love the colors and the feel of this paper

I haven't used the paper yet, but I've used similar and believe it will be good for soft pastels. However, I gave it 4 stars because one of the papers was folded, and thus destroyed. It should have been check before it was sent to me.

Love this paper so much! Amazing for my oil pastels

Love creating on with a black background. The paper allowed the colors to truly pop.

I have been painting on this product since art school. It is a good quality art paper for soft pastels and it has a smooth and textured side, which gives you options.

The paper itself is fine, but absolutely no care is taken in the packaging/shipping. Mine arrived with a pretty banged up corner. This affects the corner of every sheet of the paper.

Pastel artists know this is one of the best and less expensive papers you can use with your soft pastels. Sanded surfaces are preferred by many, but this smoother surface takes quite a few layers and grabs the colours nicely. For $17 you can't go wrong. A great product.

Das ist leider überhaupt nicht geeignet um mit Pastell Kreiden zu Zeichnen. Nimmt nicht genügend Schichten auf. Mag sein dass es für Bleistift Zeichnungen ausreicht. Aber dennoch bin ich ein wenig enttäuscht. Schade

A good. selection of earth tone colours in this pad of pastel paper. Nice weight and grain on paper. Found it to be suitable for colour pencil as well as for pastels.

Papel de muy buena calidad. Observaciones: Un solo lado tiene la textura y al otro es liso.
