Mixed Media Paper: One Surface, Endless Possibilities
Mixed media paper is designed to handle a wide range of materials on the same surface: watercolour, acrylic, ink, pencil, pastel, collage and more. It offers the versatility that artists need when combining techniques in a single piece. DeSerres carries a selection of mixed media paper and pads in various weights and formats, suited to both studio work and on-location practice.
What Makes Mixed Media Paper Different?
Unlike paper designed for a single medium, mixed media paper is engineered to withstand both wet and dry techniques without buckling or breaking down. It typically has a slightly textured surface that accepts paint, ink and dry media equally well, and a weight of 200 gsm or more to handle moisture. It's the go-to choice for artists who work across disciplines, combining painting, drawing, collage and mark-making in the same piece.
