Blocks & PadsWhether for their portability, unique sizes or cost effectiveness, blocks and pads have been a staple of artists for years. Legion Paper is proud to offer some of the world?s finest papers in both of these formats. Pads are glued (or fastened) on one side, allowing the artist to easily tear out a page when completed. Blocks are sealed on three or four sides, keeping the paper stretched when used. When the work is finished, the page is removed by sliding a knife around the edges.

Watercolor is a demanding technique for artist and paper, which must stand up to repeated wettings, as well as scratching and erasing without tearing or stretching out of shape. Arches papers, produced with resilient cotton fibers on the cylinder mould, ensure a strong performance. Manufactured in the same French mill since 1492, Arches watercolor papers are produced on a cylinder mould with pure artesian well water, cotton fibers and natural gelatin sizing to stand up to artists' most rigorous demands. Durable Arches paper is versatile, too, as well suited to acrylics, gouache, printmaking and digital printing as it is to watercolor. Offered in an exceptional choice of sizes, forms and surface textures to suit wide creative preferences, Arches adds another dimension of beauty to any artistic expression. For an assurance of lasting quality, look for the watermark with the sign of infinity - genuine Arches. Excellent for: Watercolor, Acrylic, Gouache, Pencil, Pen and Ink, Embossing, Engraving, Foil Stamping and Die Cutting. The world?s most popular watercolor paper is available in 20 sheet blocks. Mouldmade in France of 100% cotton; available in three different surfaces.

Artistico is also suitable also for printmaking techniques such as lithography and silkscreen. Available in three distinct surfaces for varying painting approaches. Artistico is internally and externally sized, and extremely lightfast. Its neutral pH guarantees permanence and resistance to aging. The two long sides have deckle edges and the trademark "C.M. FABRIANO - 100% COTTON" runs parallel to them. Artistico takes color beautifully like no other sheet before and withstands lifting and scraping.

This clever innovation is a real easel-pad incorporated into the back of a traditional block. Light, practical and compact, it is easily transportable - a perfect blend of past and present.View the various angles of our Easel Pads For centuries, outdoor artists have been sketching the world in a similar fashion. They sometimes lug a heavy wooded easel-pad, but often stroll with a paper block to be more free. When they arrive at the moment to capture a scene, the discomfort to express their art and the permanent improvisation to find a support leave them wanting for something better. The easel-pads are available on two kinds of paper, both acid-free and natural white: - Lanaquarelle, 100% cotton - Aquarelle, 25% cotton
