A more affordable yet still exceptionally high quality alternative to the Winsor & Newton 100% Cotton Professional Watercolour Paper is the Classic Watercolour Paper which is made from premium archival grade cellulose wood pulp.

Winsor & Newton Classic Watercolour Paper is made on a traditional cylinder mould with internal and external sizing for exceptional strength, balanced absorbency, colour performance and resilience. Paper which has been internally and externally sized will not warp when it is subjected to heavy washes or multiple paint layers. In the mould making process, any impurities and acidity is extracted and then combined with natural spring water with neutral ph properties for a highly resilient, high performance paper that looks and feels handmade. It is acid-free and archival and contains no optical brighteners.

This paper is available by the sheet, in gummed pads and spiral pads. It can be used with watercolour, gouache, ink and acrylic paints.

This is a single sheet of 300gsm watercolour paper measuring 56x76cm.

Please note, this product has a Not (cold pressed) surface. The surface of the paper is slightly textured, and is not suitable for extremely detailed work. Most painters will find it suitable for most purposes.
