#1 · Art supplies & tablets

Canson XL Mix Media Pad 7X10

$15.96 · 7.6/10

The 7x10 format offers improved portability over standard studio pads while retaining the same intermediate paper weight. Like the larger version, it will distort if subjected to heavy watercolor washes or wet-on-wet techniques. It works best as an everyday travel journal for dry media and dry-brush markers.

#2 · Art supplies & tablets

Canson XL Mix Media Pad 9X12

$16.83 · 7.4/10

This standard 9x12 pad provides a reliable practice ground for dry media and light wet washes. Because mix media paper in this line falls under 300 gsm, heavy water application will cause cockling and surface breakdown. For disciplined sketching and light ink work, the per-sheet price remains reasonable.
