PAPER SAMPLES
Artists don’t live in a virtual world. They need to touch and feel every step of their process and that begins with their supplies. That’s why Legion is proud to offer these paper samplers — so everyone, from artists to designers, from teachers to framers, has the chance to get up close and personal with a variety of wonderful surfaces that can be used for a variety of wonderful disciplines.
There’s a sampler for everyone, so explore them all including Legion Collections (books we curated by color and application), Mill Books (supplied by mills we work with), our Mini Artist Pads and Sample Sheets.
We can’t wait to see what you create.
