Canson 1557 Drawing 120gsm Pad

The Canson 1557® Sketching Pad offers a refined drawing surface that balances subtle texture with excellent control. Its lightly grained paper is neither too smooth nor too coarse, making it ideal for sketching, drawing, and other dry media techniques.

Designed for precision, this paper performs especially well with graphite and hard leads, holding pigment beautifully while allowing smooth shading, layering, and soft tonal gradients. The bright white surface enhances contrast and clarity, helping lines and colours stand out with definition.

Internally and surface sized, the paper is highly durable and resistant to repeated erasing, maintaining its quality and structure even with heavy use.
