Stonehenge : Aqua Watercolor Paper Blocks

Stonehenge Aqua is a high quality watercolor 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 colors 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 watercolor, pen and ink drawings, intaglio printing, calligraphy, pastel painting and silkscreen printing.

Stonehenge Aqua Watercolor Paper is available in blocks, with hot press and not/ cold press textured sheets. Every block contains 15 sheets of Stonehenge Aqua paper, and each sheet is glued on four sides. These can be carefully removed when your work is dry using a butter knife.

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 colored pencil and watercolor 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 watercolor painters because of its rugged, textured surface that naturally receives applied moisture. This makes it ideal for blending and lifting colors, enabling you to create atmospheric, complex paintings.

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