Canson Mi-Teintes Pastel Paper 50x65 cm 160 g

Canson Mi-Teintes is a premium colored pastel and drawing paper with a high cotton content, designed for artists, schools, and creative workshops. Because the color runs through the paper, it keeps a uniform shade throughout its thickness and along cut edges. Its archival permanence is verified by the ISO 9706 standard. The double-sided paper features a honeycomb texture on one side to hold pigment and a fine grain on the other for detailed drawing.
