Not sure which toned paper suits you? Try them all at once. The Art Spectrum Toned Paper Pad A4 Assorted mixes different toned colours in one pad of 40 sheets, so you can match the paper to the subject every time.

Each sheet is 250gsm in A4 (210 x 297mm), made for pencil, charcoal, chalk and pastel. It is the easiest way to discover how much a coloured ground changes a drawing.

★ Art Shed Staff Tip

Draw the same simple subject, an apple or a mug, on each colour in the pad. Use the same black and white pencils every time. Laying the drawings side by side shows you instantly how warm, cool, light and dark grounds change the mood.

Choosing a ground is part of making a drawing. A warm sheet suits a portrait, a cool one suits a stormy landscape, and a dark one turns a still life into theatre. An assorted pad lets you make that choice in the moment instead of committing to a whole pad of one colour.

It also makes a brilliant gift for anyone who draws. Add a few charcoal pencils and a white pastel and you have a ready made toned drawing kit.

Why an Assorted Pad Is a Smart Start

Find your favourite. Try several grounds before buying a full pad of one.
Match the subject. Pick the colour that suits each drawing.
Great for classes. One pad covers a whole term of toned paper exercises.
Gift ready. An easy, useful present for artists of any level.

Getting Started With Toned Paper

Begin with a dark pencil or charcoal for shadows and a white pencil or chalk for highlights. Let the paper colour do the middle values. On lighter sheets you will lean on darks, and on darker sheets you will lean on light.

Once you know which colour you reach for most, the single colour pads in White, Sand, Grey and Black use exactly the same paper.

Questions About the Art Spectrum A4 Assorted Toned Pad

Which colours are in the assorted pad?

The assorted pad combines several colours from the Art Spectrum toned range in one pad. It is the best way to compare toned grounds before choosing a single colour pad.

Is toned paper good for beginners?

Yes. Toned paper helps beginners understand light and shadow, because you add both highlights and darks to a mid tone. Drawings look rounded and finished faster.

What should I draw with on toned paper?

Use dry media: graphite or charcoal pencils for darks, white chalk or white charcoal for highlights, and pastels or crayons for colour.

Does this pad make a good gift?

Yes. An assorted toned pad suits students, hobbyists and experienced artists, and pairs well with charcoal pencils and a white pastel.

Is the paper carbon neutral?

Yes. Art Spectrum states the toned range is carbon neutral with emissions fully offset, and it is also FSC certified and acid free.

What is the difference between this pad and the toned journal?

The pad is tab bound so sheets come away cleanly. The journal uses the same 250gsm toned paper with spiral binding, which suits sketchbook style work.
