    Canson XL Series Oil and Acrylic Paper Pad, Bleed Proof Canvas Like Texture, Fold Over, 136 pound, 11 x 14 Inch, White, 24 Sheets

    Review

    Do you like the feeling of canvas? The Canson XL Series Oil & Acrylic Paper Pad has a canvas-like texture. Your acrylic and oil paints won’t bleed through the paper. You also don’t need to prime or prep this paper before painting on it. This paper you can use are with charcoal, pastels and pencil.

    Some acrylic paper pads only have 10 sheets, but this one has a good amount at 24. The Canson XL Series Oil & Acrylic Paper Pads are available in 5.5″ x 8.5″, 9″ x 12″, and 11″ x 14″ sizes.

    What Consumers Are Saying

    Consumers love this paper for its sturdiness and value for money. People who mix water with their acrylic paints say the paper warps. You can limit this problem by using thinners instead of water.

    Review

    Acrylic paint on this drawing paper shows up great and doesn’t bleed through. The paper is 187 gsm and has a canvas-like textured finish.

    You can use it for drawings intended to last a long time because it’s acid-free. Many people, however, choose to use the Strathmore 200 Series Good Canvas Paper for practice. The downside of this canvas paper pad is it only has 10 sheets. If you paint frequently, you’ll run out fast.

    • Right absorbency for acrylic paints
    Cons
    • Not many sheets in each pad

    essentials(TM) Acrylic Artist Paper Pad 5"X7

    Review

    The Royal Langnickel Essentials Acrylic Paint Artist Pad is great for sketching, painting and practicing. It has 200 gsm paper with a canvas-like texture. You can add a little water to your acrylics without the paper bending.

    If you layer heavily in your acrylic art, then this paper might not be the best choice. For those with lighter styles, it’s a quality budget find. 15 sheets are in each pad.

    What Consumers Are Saying

    Consumers are happy with how good their acrylic paintings and sketches turn out on this paper. They don’t recommend the paper for heavy layering or a lot of water mixed in with your acrylics.

    Pros
    • Cheap
    • Doesn’t yellow over time
    • Good texture
    • Beginner friendly
    Cons
    • Not suitable for heavy layering or excessive water

    Conclusion

    Royal Langnickel Essentials Acrylic Paint Artist Pad is one of the best small paper pads for acrylic painting and sketching. It has good texture and absorbency. You’ll want to choose different paper, however, if you add many layers or a lot of water to your acrylic paint.

    Factors to Consider When Buying Paper for Acrylic Paint

    What paper is used for acrylic painting? You can use any paper that’s thick enough to handle this medium. If it’s too thin, acrylic paint will bleed through it.

    Paper Weight:

    Canson XL Series Oil and Acrylic Paper Pad, Bleed Proof Canvas Like Texture, Fold Over, 136 pound, 11 x 14 Inch, White, 24 SheetsPaper thickness is measured in terms of paper weight. The higher the paper weight, the thicker the paper is. Ideal paper weight for acrylic paint is 200–400 gsm.

    If you frequently use water-mixed acrylic paint or apply many layers, you’ll need paper on the heavier side. Water on thinner paper can cause buckling. You can also choose a paper that’s designed to prevent buckling.

    The paper you use for acrylic paint should be durable. Acid-free paper is often more durable than paper that isn’t acid-free. All of the papers on this top 10 list are known to be durable for acrylic painting. Paper made from linen or linen pulp are also usually good in terms of durability.

    Acid-free:

    Another benefit of acid-free paper is it won’t deteriorate over time like other paper does. Acidic paper yellows and becomes hard and brittle. For any artwork intended to last a long time, always choose acid-free paper. When it comes to practicing, either type of paper is fine.

    Paper texture:

    Bellofy Painting Paper Pad - 25 Sheets / 50 Pages - Acrylic Oil Watercolor Cold Pressed Rough Finish Paper for Painting - 9 x 12 inches, 246 lB / 400 GSM - Art Paper for Kids - Watercolor SketchbooksPay attention to the texture of the paper you choose. For acrylic painting, you shouldn’t use paper that’s too glossy, smooth or oily because it won’t provide enough tooth for effectively absorbing pigments.

    If you prefer smooth paper over rough paper, you can find acrylic paper that’s on the smoother side, but still expect it to have some roughness. Cold-pressed paper is on the rougher side, perfect for dramatic and expressive artwork.

    Hot-pressed paper is smoother in comparison. When you’re new to acrylic painting, it will take experimenting with different types of paper to discover your personal style and preferences.

    Primer:

    Do you dislike the priming process? Choose paper that’s pre-primed to avoid having to do that step when painting.

    What materials will be used:

    Another factor to consider when choosing paper is whether or not you plan on using other media in addition to your acrylic paints. Some brands of paper are only suitable for acrylics. The product description will specify which media can be used on the paper. You can certainly try other media that’s not listed, but be aware it might not turn out well.

    Making the Decision

    We consider the Canson XL Series the best paper for acrylic paint because it can handle both acrylic and oil without bleed through. It has a canvas-like texture that absorbs pigment well, and you don’t need to prime it.

    If you need paper larger than 11″ x 14″, we recommend the Canson Montval Artist Pad. All of the paper on this list is great for acrylic painting, so it comes down to which you think is most suitable for your needs.
