Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolour Paper is made in France on a traditional cylinder mould. This luxury watercolour paper is made from 100% cotton and is naturally acid-free and archival. It does not contain optical brighteners and will remain competely colour-stable if kept in the right conditions.

Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolour Paper is both internally and externally sized. This means that the size (a barrier layer which stops paint soaking into the surface, saturating the fibres and bleeding laterally) is added to the cotton pulp mixture before the sheets are formed in the mould, and again to the surface of the sheet. Paper which has been internally and externally sized will not warp when it is subjected to heavy washes or multiple paint layers.

This paper is available by the sheet, in a 5 x 7 inch spiral pad, and in blocks. 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.
