Daler-Rowney Simply Sketch Paper Pad (A4, 60 sheets, 100gsm)
A beginner-friendly sketch pad with lightly textured, natural white paper—made for everyday drawing practice and clean studies, with an acid-free surface that keeps your work looking fresh over time.
 
What it does
Gives you 60 sheets of 100gsm paper with a light texture (“tooth”) that grips dry media nicely.
Works beautifully for pencil, pen, ink, and charcoal.
Acid-free paper helps reduce yellowing over time.
Top-glued, portrait format—easy to remove sheets neatly for storage or framing.
 
How to use
Use light pencil passes to map shapes, then build value with layered strokes.
For charcoal, use the paper’s tooth for soft blends, then sharpen edges with a kneaded eraser.
Tear out finished sheets cleanly from the glued top edge for filing or display.
 
Best for
Daily sketching, gesture practice, studies, and art class work
Dry media experiments (line + shading + charcoal textures)
