Canson Figueras Oil and Acrylic Pad, 290 g, 10 Sheets, 33 x 41 cm
Canson Figueras is high-quality painting paper with a weight of 290 g/m² and an embossed canvas grain that closely imitates the surface of stretched canvas. It is designed for artists and students to create studies, sketches, and finished works with oil paints or acrylic paints, without the need for stretching or gesso priming. The special double-sided surface treatment isolates the binder, prevents oil from seeping into the fibers, and minimizes pronounced paper warping.

Uses and techniques
The paper is suitable for working with a brush or palette knife, and handles both delicate, diluted transparent washes and heavy body (thick) impasto applications.

Frequently asked questions
Does the paper need to be gesso-primed before painting? No, the paper has a special surface treatment that isolates the oil binder and lets you paint directly without any surface preparation.
Does the paper warp when working with paints? Thanks to its high strength and thickness, the paper does not warp significantly while painting.
