The Inart Black A4 Spiral Drawing Pad, 240g, 40 Sheets (1550399043) has intense black sheets and a weight of 240g, resistant enough to withstand several layers of colored pencils, dry pastels, chalk, or markers without deteriorating. The spiral allows the pad to be opened horizontally or folded back, facilitating drawing on any surface. The black background transforms the way you draw: instead of starting from white and darkening, you work from dark to light, using light colored pencils, white chalk, or metallic markers to add light to the composition. It is suitable for night illustrations, studies of inverted light and shadow, or simply for those seeking a visual effect different from traditional white paper. The 40 sheets guarantee plenty of material to explore this technique without frequently replacing the pad.
