Jackson's : Two Rivers : Watercolour Paper : 200lb : 22x30in (Apx.56x76cm) : Single Sheet : Not

Jackson's Two Rivers Handmade Watercolour Paper is made exclusively for Jackson's by the Two Rivers paper mill in Somerset. This paper is conservation quality, made with 100% cotton and linen rag and is very hard sized. This means that the surface is incredibly tough, allowing the artist to work the surface for much longer than with more absorbent artists' papers. Because the paint is not drawn into the paper, the pigment dries to a sharp and brilliant finish. The inclusion of linen in its make-up results in an unusually tough surface which will resist much lifting out, scrubbing and re-working.

Reassuringly, the 400-year-old mill is also hydro powered, making it very environmentally friendly. Two Rivers has a unique random surface texture, unlike the mechanically even weave of most other branded papers. This also means there is no right or wrong side, as both sides are identical. As well as watercolour, this paper can be used for other media, including pastels, oils, printmaking, photographic processes, and many types of mixed media. The cold pressed (NOT) surface is slightly rougher than most.
