The new Canson Art Book series combines several of the world’s best-loved artist papers with a rugged, contemporary format that suits every style. All of the new Art Books have deep Prussian blue covers and cornflower-blue elastic bands, with a tear-off label so you can remove all the branding and barcodes.

The binding is double-wire, and the covers are both very heavyweight chipboard. You can flip the front around back and create a working surface for the field or the subway. There’s also a pocket in the back of each Art Book, perfect for storing postcards and travel tickets.

Montval is Canson’s best-selling watercolor paper, with a 25% cotton composition that offers a nice blend of strength, wet performance, and surface smoothness. Erasing, scrubbing, and washes will all work on this portable Montval book, so you can take your top technique anywhere.
