The surface you draw on is not neutral. A smooth sheet invites precision and clean line work; a textured one holds pastel and coloured pencil differently, building colour in layers that a slick surface cannot. Clairefontaine's drawing and pastel papers are designed with that specificity in mind, offering surfaces matched to the demands of each technique rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. The selection covers weights from lightweight tracing paper to heavy multi-technique boards, in formats suited to quick studies, daily sketchbook practice, manga and sequential art, and finished pastel work. Whether you are building a daily drawing habit or working toward a specific technique, the right paper is here. For the full Clairefontaine range, visit Clairefontaine.
