Paper sizes<\/strong>
\nFull sheets of watercolour paper often come in Imperial sizes rather than European A (ISO) sizes.
\nA sheet of Imperial (also called Full Imperial<\/strong>) is 30×22 inches (76x56cm). This is a bit smaller than A1<\/strong> which is 84.1×59.4cm.
\nThe other A sizes are based on half of the larger size above it:
\nA2<\/strong> is 42\u00d759.4cm
\nA3<\/strong> is 42×29.7cm (which is the size of our catalogue open)
\nA4<\/strong> 21×29.7cm (which is the size of our catalogue closed)<\/p>\n
