When do you need a specialised sketchbook?
The Clairefontaine Paint'ON sketchbook is designed for artists who want to experiment with different techniques on a single type of paper. You choose this sketchbook when you want to use both wet techniques such as watercolour and acrylic and dry techniques such as pencil and pastel, without having to switch paper each time.

Why A3 format is the right choice
The A3 format of 297 x 420 mm gives you enough space for detailed drawings and paintings without the block becoming unwieldy. This format is ideal for portraits, landscapes and studies where you want to work out details, yet compact enough to work at a table comfortably.

The benefits of 250 g/m² textured paper
The 250 g/m² paper has a sturdy structure that does not soak through quickly with wet techniques, while the grained surface texture provides good grip for dry materials. The acid-free paper prevents yellowing and deterioration over time, so your artworks keep their quality.

Practical working tips for the best results
The glued block keeps all the sheets firmly together while you work. When using wet techniques, always start with thinner layers so the paper gradually gets used to moisture. For dry techniques, you can use the grain to create interesting texture effects by gently rubbing your drawing material over the surface.
