Acquerello Italia Round Watercolor Blocks – Cold Press

Acquerello by Magnani is a range of 100% cotton Italian mould made watercolor papers available in three surface textures. This range was created specifically with wet media application in mind, however it is not as hard and stiff to the touch as other watercolor papers. These Acquerello Italia Round Watercolor Blocks feature 140 lb cold press watercolor paper in a circle format.

The cold press Italia paper is unique in that it doesn’t have the deep texture of most cold press watercolor papers. This lends itself to be a paper that has overlapping suitability for other mediums such as graphite, colored pencil and watercolor pencil, pastel, charcoal, tempera, gouache and acrylic paint.

It has also found its way into printmaking being suitable for both etching and intaglio. The paper is not heavily sized, therefore it does not require long soaking times.

This unique round block is a first of its kind in the art market, redefining the normal four-sided boundaries of watercolor painting. Working within a circular format enhances an artist’s perspective, inviting new ways to compose a work of art. A finished piece framed in a square boundary plays elegantly off the two shapes.
