★ Art Shed Staff Tip
GSM is paper weight. Around 300gsm is the sweet spot for watercolour. Go lighter and it buckles, and nobody enjoys painting on a potato chip.
Shop paper and surfaces from brands including Mont Marte, Art Spectrum, Winsor & Newton and Royal Talens Art Creation.

Questions About Pads, Paper & Creative Surfaces
What does GSM mean on art paper?
GSM means grams per square metre and measures paper weight. Drawing paper is often 100 to 200gsm, mixed media around 200 to 300gsm and watercolour paper usually 300gsm or more. Heavier paper handles more water and layers.
What is the difference between hot pressed and cold pressed paper?
Cold pressed paper has a slightly textured surface that suits most watercolour styles. Hot pressed paper is smooth, ideal for fine detail, botanical work and ink.
What paper can I use for mixed media?
Mixed media paper is made to handle both wet and dry media, from pencil and ink to watercolour, gouache and light acrylic, without buckling.
Why do artists use toned paper?
Toned paper provides a mid-tone to start from, so artists can add both shadows and white highlights. It makes drawings look dramatic very quickly.
