Saunders Waterford High White Watercolour Paper 30 x 22" - 140lb Hot Press (HP)

300gsm/140lb is the ideal weight of paper to get started it will take a light wash without distorting but will need to be stretched for wetter applications and techniques.

Saunders Waterford is an exquisite watercolour paper, traditionally made on a cylinder mould machine by St Cuthbert's Mill in Wells, Somerset. This is their superior quality watercolour paper and comes with the Royal Watercolour Society's endorsement - it is highly recommended by many of our professional watercolour customers and probably the most popular watercolour paper we sell. Made using 100% cotton, the highest quality papermaking material, to high archival standards. Its attractive surface is created using natural woollen felts that give it a distinctive random texture. It is internally sized making it strong and resilient to scrubbing, and other rough treatments, but not as strong a surface as the very hard Arches papers.

Available in White which is quite a warm natural white, and High White, which is more like you would expect from Arches or Fabriano papers.

Saunders Waterford® is a top quality professional watercolour paper.

NOT (Cold Pressed) - The most popular and "midddle" texture surface / HP (Hot Pressed) - The smoothest surface / Rough - The most textured.
