Capture quick sketches, line drawings and tonal studies on Clairefontaine Dessin-Croquis. This white drawing paper has a grammage of 120 g/m² and a light, even grain. It is designed for dry media such as pencil, charcoal, chalk and felt-tip pens. The paper is acid-free and pH-neutral.

Choose your working size

• A3, 29.7 × 42 cm: one pad of 50 sheets. The larger surface gives space for broad gestures, larger subjects and composition studies.
• A4, 21 × 29.7 cm: one pad of 50 sheets. A more compact format for daily drawing exercises and a smaller workspace.

Both versions have a top spiral binding and a flexible card cover. Turn the sheets over and keep your drawings together. Drawing materials are sold separately.

From line to tone

Start with light pencil lines to establish proportions, then build darker tones with hatching and gradually increased pressure. For charcoal or chalk, use a test area to explore marks and soft transitions on the light grain. Try felt-tip pens on a small area first and place a loose protective sheet beneath your drawing when needed.

Storage and choosing another technique

Place a clean sheet between drawings that transfer colour easily and store the pad dry and flat. For work using plenty of water, choose dedicated watercolour paper.
