Jackson's : Two Rivers Watercolour Paper : NOT : Sheets

Jackson's Two Rivers 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 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 artist 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.

Two Rivers Watercolour Paper has a unique random surface texture unlike the mechanically even weave of most other branded papers. This also means that there is not a right or wrong side as both sides are identical. As well as watercolour, our papers are used for other media including pastels, oils, printmaking, photographic processes and many types of mixed media. The NOT surface of this paper is slightly rougher than most mechanically produced NOT papers.
