Clairefontaine is a French paper manufacturer founded in 1858, headquartered in Étival-Clairefontaine, France. The brand is widely recognised for its premium-quality writing, drawing, and painting papers, with the PaintON line specifically engineered for wet media such as paint, ink, and markers. Clairefontaine products are distributed across Europe and are a standard choice in art supply retail.
The PaintON Block is designed for drawing, sketching, and illustration with wet media such as paint, ink, and markers. The 250 g/m² paper weight and PaintON surface coating prevent bleeding and buckling, making it suitable for both studio practice and finished artwork.
The block uses A4 format (210 × 297 mm) with 250 g/m² heavyweight paper. This weight is specifically chosen to remain stable and flat when exposed to wet media, preventing warping or bleed-through that lighter papers cannot withstand.
The block contains 15 sheets of A4 paper. The cover is denim blue, providing a distinctive, professional appearance while protecting the paper inside from dust and moisture.
The PaintON surface is optimised for water-based paint, ink, and markers. It provides a smooth, bleed-resistant coating that works well with most liquid media. For oil-based paints or specialised techniques, artists should test a sample sheet first to confirm compatibility.
