Canson Mi-Teintes

This classic French paper has a "vellum" texture on the top side and a flat surface on the reverse, both equally suitable for pastel, oil pastel, chalk, pencil, watercolor, and acrylic. It is a heavy, 98 lb (160 gsm) sheet, with a high rag content (66%) to ensure long life without deterioration. The entire range of 42 shades are colored in the pulp to be highly light-resistant and acid-free.

Mi-Teintes papers are available in individual sheets that measure 19" × 25" (483 mm × 635 mm).

For model making applications, sheets can be laser cut to create patterns or grids in models as in the picture on the right . Cream and Bordeaux was used to create a spiraling pattern.
