You’ll find a wide range of art pads for drawing, with something to suit every artist. To break it down, the main types of pads include sketch pads for quick doodles, drawing pads for charcoal and pencils, watercolour pads for watercolour paints, and even mixed medium pads, suitable for various materials. It’s always best to research what is the best style of pad based on the media you are using. We have a huge selection of Pads & Blocks available to start exploring.

As a beginner, consider a versatile sketch pad. This will help you decide on what you do and don’t like as an artist. Sketch pads are great for practising different techniques and are often more affordable, allowing you to explore without breaking the bank.

Is there a difference between sketch pads for drawing and painting? 

Yes there is! The important difference is in the characteristics of the paper. The choice of texture depends on the artist's preference and the drawing medium used. Using heavy materials such as paint or inks on a sketching pad can cause bleeding through the pages.
