Anupam Pupil Watercolour Black Toned Paper, 250gsm, 20 Sheets, A5

A pocketable A5 pack of Anupam's black toned watercolour paper, built for painting on the move.

• 250gsm paper weight
• A5 size, 20 sheets per pack
• Black toned paper base
• Suited to watercolour, gouache and mixed media work
• Compact size for travel and on-the-go sketching

This A5 pack gives you the same black-toned paper as the larger sizes in Anupam's Pupil range, just sized down for a sketchbook or bag rather than a studio desk, which makes it a practical pick for travel sketching or quick colour studies away from home. Painting on black works best with opaque, metallic or white media, since these are the paints that actually show up and contrast against the dark ground.

At 250gsm, the sheets carry enough weight for wet washes without falling apart, and with 20 sheets in the A5 pack there is plenty of room to practise the technique across many small studies. It suits artists who want to experiment with dramatic, dark-background paintings without committing a full large-format pad to the experiment.

The A5 size fits easily into a bag or small sketch kit, so it is a natural companion for travel sketching or short painting sessions where a full-size pad would be impractical. With 20 sheets to work through, there is enough room to explore several dark-background compositions, from night skies to metallic-accented florals, before needing to restock.
