Canson painting papers offer various weights and textures designed to be a source of inspiration to artists.
The main features of watercolour are transparency and luminosity. Of all the wet techniques, watercolour is the most demanding regarding paper, and choosing the most suitable sheet for the composition is an essential part of the process. Canson provides an extensive product range in which every artist will find a watercolour paper suitable for their expertise.
As oil and acrylic techniques look for opacity and depth, they require heavy weight papers that can take thick paint layers and resist oxidization due to the drying oil. Canson offers papers specially tailored for these techniques. The use of paper for oil painting brings substantial benefits over stretched canvas. Besides being easy to transport, it is economical and easy to resize and mount on canvas.
