Comparison of Canson Graduate grey-toned mixed media pads in A3, A4, and A5 sizes.
Description
The Canson Graduate Mixed Media Pad in Grey features 30 sheets of 220 g/m² (135 lb) neutral mid-tone grey art paper. Manufactured in France by Canson, this pad provides an ideal middle-value base that accelerates drawing workflow by allowing artists to develop both dark shadows and luminous highlights simultaneously.
A standout feature of this paper is its double-sided versatility (Double Face): one side features a fine textured tooth ideal for wet watercolor washes, gouache, acrylic paints, and pastels, while the reverse side is ultra-smooth for fineliners, technical markers, and precision graphite pencils.
The heavy 220gsm weight gives the sheets outstanding dimensional strength. It resists buckling, warping, and pilling when wet washes are applied, while providing enough density to prevent marker bleed-through to subsequent pages.
Acid-free and FSC-certified, the paper is chemically buffered to prevent yellowing or deterioration over time, keeping your drawings vibrant and true to tone.
Available in two versatile sizes: compact A5 (14.8 x 21 cm) at Rs. 1,250 for pocket sketching and urban studies, and spacious A3 (29.7 x 42 cm) at Rs. 3,350 for expressive studio paintings.
The Safencia price starts at Rs. 1,250 with Cash on Delivery across Pakistan. Select your desired format when ordering; stock, sizes, city and delivery charges are confirmed on WhatsApp before dispatch.

Sketching ke saath gouache ki light layers bhi try ki aur result acha aya. Sheet sturdy hai aur grey tone artwork ko instantly different look deta hai.
Charcoal studies ke liye excellent surface hai. Paper na bohat smooth hai na rough, is liye shading aur blending dono control mein rehti hain.
Fashion illustration ke liye liya tha aur bohat useful nikla. Skin tones aur white highlights grey background par zyada professional aur dimensional lagte hain.
Overall pad bohat decent hai. Grey shade balanced hai aur black ink clearly stand out karti hai. Water use karte waqt thora controlled rehna parta hai.
30 sheets ka pad price ke hisaab se practical laga. Pastels aur graphite dono ke saath achi grip milti hai aur sheet jaldi wrinkle nahi hoti.
Architecture sketches aur concept drawings ke liye use kar raha hoon. Grey background ki wajah se highlights directly add kar sakte hain aur paper erasing bhi achi tarah handle karta hai.
White gel pen aur coloured pencils grey sheet par bohat vibrant nazar aate hain. Paper ki texture smooth aur slightly toothy hai, blending bhi easily ho jati hai.
Paper quality achi hai aur pencil, charcoal aur ink ke saath result clean aata hai. Heavy wet washes ke liye nahi, lekin normal mixed media work ke liye kaafi suitable hai.
Portrait sketching ke liye grey tone bohat acha base deta hai. Highlights aur shadows build karna easy ho jata hai aur finished drawing ka contrast really nice aata hai.
Mixed media practice ke liye bohat useful pad hai. 220gsm sheets thick feel hoti hain aur markers ke saath light paint layers bhi comfortably handle kar leti hain.
Grey paper par white pencil aur highlights bohat beautifully show hoti hain. Charcoal aur coloured pencils dono try kiye aur surface ne details bohat achi hold ki.
