Uses and techniques
The paper is designed primarily for pastels, charcoal, and sanguine, but also works with colored pencils and graphite. The toned paper brings the composition together when building highlights and shadows, while the spiral binding allows the pad to lie flat and makes sheets easy to tear out. Once finished, the drawing should be fixed or interleaved.
