A spiral bound A4 pad of Anupam's Dusk grey toned watercolour paper, cold pressed and acid free at 225gsm.

• 225gsm cold pressed paper with a coarse surface texture
• 15 sheets in a spiral bound A4 pad

• Grey toned surface, popular for working with white highlights and mid tone studies
• Cold press texture suited to watercolour and other wet media
• Spiral bound pad, so the book opens flat and pages tear out cleanly

Toned paper like Anupam's Dusk grey range lets you build a painting or drawing around a mid value instead of a blank white page, which makes it easier to judge highlights and shadows from the start rather than fighting a stark white background. The cold pressed, 225gsm surface holds watercolour washes well while the acid free, pH neutral paper is meant to age better over time than standard drawing paper.

The spiral binding lets the pad lie flat while you work and makes it simple to tear out a finished sheet, so it suits both quick colour studies and more considered watercolour pieces done over several sittings.

Because the paper already sits at a mid grey value, white or light gouache and pastel read strongly as highlights, so this pad is worth keeping alongside your usual white paper for studies that want a different starting point.

It also travels well for outdoor or on location sketching, since the spiral pad opens flat on a board or easel and closes up again without loose sheets shifting around.
