Canson Acrylic Paper is increasingly appreciated by painters but it requires a paper with a heavy weight that is both resilient and absorbent. Canson® Acrylic is a thick paper, with a high grammage (400 gsm), internally and surface-sized, tough and absorbent. It is ideal for working with diluted acrylic paint to achieve a wash effect or several layers. Its cold pressed grain is particularly suited to washes, evoking the fine, transparency of watercolour. This acid-free paper has excellent longevity and will keep for years. It is naturally white, containing no optical brightening additives.
