Clairefontaine Oil Paper Pads are top bound making it easy for you to remove sheets quickly. They are specially designed to give excellent adhesion to oil colours and solvents. And they are a fantastic alternative to canvas without the inconvenience of stretching canvas or the hassle of using heavy canvas boards.

Clairefontaine actively participates in the development of French forests, by managing several hundred hectares of fir and spruce trees in the Vosges mountains. With regards to the paper mill itself in the Etival Clairefontaine region, it is still as dynamic 150 years after its conception. Self-sufficient for 80% of its own biological installations for water treatment, and has been rewarded a "Water trophy" by the State.
