This superb artist-grade paper from Saunders Waterford is a 100% cotton watercolour paper, with a structure giving it strength and a characteristic feel. The manufacturing process, using a cylinder mould, makes it possible to obtain harmonious and varied grains with rough, cold pressed, and hot pressed quality.
The paper is gelatin-sized, and then air-dried, so that the colours retain a fine rendering even after being scraped and erased. Its natural whiteness (no optical bleaches), mildew protection and neutral PH mean that the paper has a very long shelf-life. Saunders Waterford paper is also endorsed by the Royal Watercolour Society.
These sheets have a rough surface, and are not suitable for detailed watercolour painting. For more information on the production and properties of watercolour papers, click here.
This is a 9 x 12in Saunders Waterford Gummed Pad containing 12 sheets of 300gsm (140lb) Rough watercolour paper.
