Info
Canson Héritage is a strong and absorbent 100% cotton paper designed for use with watercolour paints. Sheets are available in two weights, a standard 300gsm and a heavyweight 640gsm. Both weights of Canson Héritage are also suitable for use with colour or watercolour pencils.
Canson Héritage is made from 100% cotton fibre and thus is naturally acid-free. It has been treated to make it mould-resistant and does not contain optical brighteners. It complies with ISO Standard 9706 and is a naturally-durable paper.
Héritage sheets and blocks are surface sized with a gelatin-free size. This allows artists to lift paint and scrub the paper without deterioration to the surface. It is possible to layer paints, returning to the same image and re-wetting the surface. The ability to make corrections while the paint is wet or after it has dried makes Héritage a very forgiving paper to paint on.
