This relatively new paper is the result of co-operation between
the paper mill and the Royal Watercolour Society. It is part
rag and part linen which makes it very strong, very heavily
sized which makes the paint sit on the surface but also allows
you to wash it off easily and a bright white which helps keep
colour vibrant. We stock it in imperial size (560x760mm 22”x30”)
in 300g and 425g. It is available in HP, NOT and Rough. |

From the Fabriano mill in Italy this paper is 50% rag and 50%
woodpulp, It is acidfree and available in a nice silky HP surface
or a grainy NOT surface. We chose this paper because it comes
bigger than the usual imperial size, it is 700x1000mm (approx
27”x40”) and is a reasonable price for a nice quality
paper. We stock 210g which is good for drawing and light washes
and 350g. . |

A watercolour paper 5’x4’ – you’d better
believe it! It is 400g, so heavy enough for its size but light
enough not to be extortionately priced. It is mould made, acidfree
and well sized. Its main feature however is that it is HUGE. |
