Paper & Pads: The Right Surface for Every Medium
The surface you work on is just as important as the tools you use. Whether you're painting in watercolour, sketching in graphite, working in mixed media or practising calligraphy, the right paper makes a real difference in the quality and feel of your work. DeSerres carries a wide selection of paper and pads suited to every medium, format and level of practice.
How to Choose the Right Paper?
Paper choice depends on your medium and technique. Watercolour paper is heavier and sized to absorb water without buckling, available in cold press, hot press and rough textures. Sketch and drawing paper is lighter and smooth, ideal for pencil, ink and charcoal work. Mixed media paper is designed to handle multiple media on the same surface, from wet to dry techniques. Weight, texture and format all play a role in the final result. Browse our collections: Watercolour & Gouache Paper, Sketch & Drawing Paper and Mixed Media.
