CANSON XL Touch is a special sketch pad with gray toned paper and a grainy, sanded surface, designed primarily for dry techniques such as soft pastels, charcoal, and sanguine. Thanks to its weight of 160 g/m² and fine abrasive texture, it holds pigment very well, allows repeated layering, and is ideal for art students, schools, and experienced artists. The spiral binding opens flat for comfortable use and makes it easy to tear out sheets.
