Fabriano Toned Sketch Pad 120gsm A3 – Sand

Drawing on a toned paper lets you work both darker and lighter than the ground, using the paper itself as the mid-tone. Fabriano Toned pads offer four natural colours: Sand, Clay, Sea and Moss, each in 120gsm paper bound into A4 and A3 pads.

The coloured ground brings drawings to life quickly. Use charcoal, graphite or sepia for the shadows and white chalk, pastel or white pencil for the highlights, and you can create a convincing sense of form with very few marks. The papers also suit coloured pencils, pastel pencils and ink.

Sand and Clay offer warm, earthy grounds that flatter portraits and figure studies, while Sea and Moss give cooler tones suited to landscapes and seascapes. The pads are light enough to carry for sketching out and about.
