Stillman & Birn Beta Cold Press Mixed Media Paper (4x6", 15 Sheets)

For artists who demand maximum durability from their paper without sacrificing texture, the Stillman & Birn Beta Series sets the standard for mixed media performance. Sized in a convenient, portable 4x6-inch format with 15 sheets, this pack provides a remarkably tough foundation for all your studio explorations and field sketches.

Featuring an extra-heavyweight 270 gsm construction with a classic cold press finish, Beta paper is enhanced with double sizing—both internally and on the surface. This unique process creates an exceptionally strong sheet that resists buckling, tearing, and scrubbing. Whether you are building up smooth, blended layers of colored pencils or pushing the boundaries of advanced wet media techniques with heavy washes, this bright white paper handles it all with ease.
