Rhodia Touch is a collection of convenient books and sketchpads designed especially for calligraphers, urban sketchers, designers, architects, and illustrators. This range carries the hallmark of excellence and Clairefontaine's famed art of papermaking, reflecting both their expertise and their proven track record of an outstanding reputation in fine arts. The intense black of the deep-dyed 55lb Carb'On paper is perfrct for hihg contrast effects. It is double-grain: one side has a very fine grain, while the other is vertually smooth and idea for dry drawing techniques (pencil, chalk, sanguine, pastel, pigmented felt pen). It is also very well suited to highlighting with white ink or gouache.
