Canson, the experts in paper production, has been delivering fine art surfaces to the world's master artists since 1557. Located in the South of France, the artisans continue their craft, relying on generations of knowledge enhanced with superior technology. The Canson Graduate range brings this legacy in an accessible form for students and beginner hobbyists. Featuring a wide range of paper for many techniques, Canson Graduate includes sketching, drawing, mixed media, illustration, lettering, Manga, watercolors, acrylic painting, oil painting paper and more! Paper types are available as an art pad in three sizes — 5.5 x 8.5 inch, 9 x 12 inch and 11x14 inch -- and as a hard cover art book in 5.5 x 8.5 inch and 8.5 x 11 inch. All paper is acid-free, meaning the surface will not become yellow or brittle over time, leading to premature aging and eventual deterioration of the paper. Artists prefer acid-free paper to ensure their artwork is preserved for generations. Canson Graduate is the perfect option for art teachers looking for cost-effective art paper, art students needing to stock up on supplies for the semester, and hobbyists exploring different art styles and hoping to launch their custom art store.
