Stonehenge : Aqua Watercolour Paper

Stonehenge Aqua is a high quality watercolour paper that performs excellently with wet-on-wet applications or wet-on-dry applications. Its crispness and excellent quality enable it to anchor work beautifully no matter what the technique. Lifting and blending are a dream on this paper, allowing you the control you need to produce fine, elegant work. Its absorbency is perfect for preventing bright colours drying to a dull tone. The flat paper dries flat and resists buckling, whether you’re using blocks or sheets. Stonehenge Aqua can be used for watercolour, pen and ink drawings, intaglio printing, calligraphy, pastel painting and silkscreen printing.

Stonehenge Aqua watercolour paper is available in hotpress and not/coldpress textured sheets as well as a variety of weights.

Stonehenge Aqua Hot Press is a superb paper for botanical illustration since it is very smooth while still having a delicate, fine texture that is ideal for coloured pencil and watercolour layering. This makes vibrant, realistic paintings entirely possible. The water permeates the paper slowly, allowing for you to produce fine details and subtle gradations without losing any vibrancy or radiance.

Stonehenge Aqua Not (cold press) is an interesting paper for watercolour painters because of its rugged, textured surface that naturally receives applied moisture. This makes it ideal for the blending and lifting of colour, and enables you to create atmospheric complex paintings.

Each sheet is made from 100% cotton and is acid and chlorine-free, and sized with a synthetic sizing that doesn’t contain any gelatine.
