Yes. The pad uses an acid-free surface, which helps preserve colors and prevents acid-related yellowing over time.

Primarily oils and acrylics benefit from the 290 gsm weight and textured surface. Mixed media can work, but for wet-in-wet oil or thick acrylic layers, this pad offers the best performance.

Ideal for studio practice, painting classes, and any project where you want a canvas-like texture without a dedicated canvas. Great for experiments, color studies, and finished acrylic or oil pieces.

Begin with light washes to map out composition, let layers dry to prevent smudging, and consider testing on a small sheet first. The textured surface helps you control brushstrokes and pigment load.

This pad is specifically optimized for thicker oil and acrylic applications with a canvas-like texture and heavyweight 290 gsm. If you want more versatile media handling, you might look at alternatives like the Canson XL Mix Media Pad for broader media compatibility on Fepy.
