When painting with acrylics, you don’t always have to use canvas. A good acrylic paper offers a similar painting experience while being lighter, more affordable, and easier to use.
Canson acrylic paper in pads and sheets
Canson offers acrylic paper both in pads and large individual sheets, giving artists the flexibility to choose the format that best suits their work.
The Canson XL acrylic paper pad has a weight of 300 gsm and a surface that mimics canvas texture, providing excellent paint adhesion and a natural painting feel. It is a practical choice for practice, sketching, and smaller works.
Canson acrylic paper is also available as individual sheets with a weight of 400 gsm. The heavier paper provides an even more stable surface, making it ideal for larger works or more intensive painting techniques. The textured surface helps paint adhere well, similar to canvas.
Canson acrylic paper is acid-free, made from 100% cellulose, and contains no optical brighteners. It also features a mould-resistant treatment, helping to ensure better longevity of your artwork. Thanks to its strength and texture, it works well for both thin layers of paint and thicker applications, including impasto techniques where brushstrokes and texture remain clearly visible.
When should you choose acrylic paper?
Acrylic paper is especially practical in situations where using canvas is not the most convenient option. For example, when sketching or testing ideas, it allows you to quickly experiment with colour combinations and compositions without extensive preparation.
It is also a great choice for art classes and workshops, where ease of use and portability are important. A paper pad is easy to carry, and you can work directly in it.
Many artists also use acrylic paper for painting outdoors or while traveling, as it is lightweight and does not take up much space. When transporting canvas would be inconvenient, acrylic paper allows you to focus on painting without extra equipment.
A practical choice for every artist
Canson acrylic paper is a reliable option for hobbyists, art students, and professional artists alike. The ability to choose between pads and large sheets offers flexibility for different working methods and formats, while still providing a high-quality surface for acrylic painting.
