Based in Toronto, Mirage Paper Company produces a range of art supplies and recognizes the need for a quality, well-priced Canadian sketchbook. Receiving admirable recognition over the years, some noteworthy sketchbooks produced by Mirage are the Mirage Basic Sketchbook - your smart-looking classic spiral bound, hardcover sketchbook with 73lb acid-free white paper. Their Kids Series - watercolour and drawing pads which have funky covers in eye-catching, yellow, red, blue, and lime with cute illustrations, which definitely "shout" fun to both kids and adults alike. They are made with the same quality art paper as all of Mirage's other sketchbooks.

An Opus favorite is The Great Canadian Sketchbook with an ink wash of our native Black Bear on the cover. It certainly speaks to our Canadian identity, and one could even say symbolic of the strength of the paper, which is so proudly made in Canada. Its strong, high opacity, 110lb paper is ideal for pencil, pastel, charcoal, and light ink and watercolour washes. With the inspiring image on the cover, what better way to begin your own art studies of the local wildlife.

Mirage's black-paged scrapbooks are excellent for using as a photo album or journal. Decorative paper can be used to embellish these books for a look of elegance.

Gaining popularity, the distribution of Mirage's products has expanded from across Canada to the US. Focusing on quality, pricing, and design, Mirage actively strives to create quality, distinctive sketchbooks, while making the effort to understand the changing needs of its consumers.
