Studio Series Artist’s Tiles White

great paper ideal for zen patterns

I am enjoying using these artists acid free tiles. They are 9.1 x 8.9cm with flat cut corners on the sides. It is clear to see which side to use by the rougher edge on the back. The smooth front is a pure white and ideal for using in zentangle. They are 300 gsm and thick, this is ideal for using with alcohol pens as there is no bleeding through the paper. You can also use chalk, pens, pencils, pastels, watercolours as well as different kinds of inks. I have used micron Sakura pens, Copic markers, watercolour pens and regular colouring pencils. They all work fine. The size of these tiles are ideal and very similar to the original zentangle tiles except they are rounded at the edges and the colour is not as white. The price is perfect for this pack of 75 tiles and the thickness is 300gsm and I consider this good value for money for someone like me who is new to using them. I also bought these in different colours.

I bought this product for zentangles - the official cards are 50p each whereas these are 7p each - the surface is smooth - the card is heavy weight and doesn't flex - every pen I have tried has been fine with no bleed - always clear sharp lines - absolutely great

yes it's very white and smooth but crickey, they are thin! That caught me out hence I haven't given it them 5 stars as they don't make it clear how slim the card actually is. They are sturdy enough to zentangle on and took the pen well, no complaints there. So if you are looking for something light for storage, this is the card for you.

Really good quality, great for Zentangle. Nice rounded corners

Lovely cards to Zentangle on and a good price too. Microns, Uni Super Ink Markers, Edding Paint Markers, Winsor & Newton Indian ink and even a Stabilo highlighter have ALL taken to the card surface without bleeding through so far! But as usual & true to type, my Sharpie was the only pen that bled. Although, I have to say, it wasn't very much but you could see it was trying to. I'd definitely recommend these as a cheaper alternative to the official Tangle cards. Speedy delivery. I ordered these Standard Delivery on the Saturday and they arrived the very next day!!! ;o)

Ideal for Zentangle or any small art project, this is lovely thick card with a good smooth finish that takes most types of pen ink well, I've used fineliners, brush pens, fountain pens, coloured pencil and graphite pencil with great results, there's no bleed through from fountain pen ink either. The small size with the curved corners is pleasing to the eye, I often do small images to give to friends and family, its a quick way to work on techniques on decent paper on a small scale, and the ideal size to pop a few in your handbag or painting kit. The tiles are held together with a simple band of paper, a box would have been nice but at this price that's a minor quiibble. I note they're available in a black version too, intriguing!

I think these are the best artists tiles available, the card is thick so ink does not bleed through and you can keep notes about your design on the back. I use them for Zentangle and also for Inktober. They are perfect for pens, coloured pencil and Inktense pencil, they are fine with a light wash of watercolour if you want to add some colour to your designs.
