The Pro Art Newsprint Pad A3 provides an expansive, mid-sized practice platform utilizing 100 sheets of flexible 48gsm matte newsprint paper. Designed to accommodate broad, energetic sweeps of soft pastel, chalk, and compressed charcoal blocks, the textured pulp catches dry pigments beautifully for fluid value modeling and continuous line work. This value-packed pad sits completely flat on drafting tables or standard lap boards, keeping your dynamic preliminary layouts and quick-response study layers safely organized in one place.
