Watercolour Paper and Your Painting Results

The foundation of any great watercolour painting lies in the quality of the paper used. It is specifically designed to absorb water and bear the weight of watercolour paint without warping or deteriorating. Choosing the right option can transform your painting, enhancing both the application of paint and the final appearance of your artwork. From the vibrancy of the colours to the precision of your brush strokes, every element is influenced by the paper's texture, weight, and quality.

Rough, Hot Pressed and Cold Pressed Options

The choice between different textures like hot pressed (smooth) and cold pressed (textured) papers depends on your specific technique and the desired effect in your painting. Each texture impacts how the paint settles and travels across the page, affecting the painter's ability to manipulate colour and create details. Hot pressed papers are excellent for detailed work, while cold pressed papers are better suited for textured effects and washes.

A4 & A3 Watercolour Paper Pads

Crafted with premium quality, our paper pads are designed to enhance the vibrancy and depth of your your artworks. The A4 size offers convenience for smaller projects, while the A3 size provides ample space for larger, more detailed creations. Each pad features paper with excellent absorption, allowing you to achieve smooth washes and intricate details with ease.
