WHY 100% COTTON?
Cotton paper is the best surface for watercolour and is also great for mixed media. 100% cotton paper can take multiple heavy washes. It stands up well to damaging techniques like dry brushing and helps keep the pigment looking vibrant over time. The surface provides the perfect level of brush resistance while allowing the pigment to flow beautifully across the page. Those who “upgrade” to 100% cotton paper often credit it as having had a greater impact on their art than the quality of paint they use.

FAQs:
What are the paper specifications?
These sketchbooks use 300 gsm (140 lbs) acid-free, artist-grade, 100% cotton cold-press paper. The paper tone is traditional white.
What is cold-press paper?
Cold-pressed paper has a slightly textured finish, or more “tooth”. It is often a go-to for watercolour artists as the textured finish can provide a little more water control. It is also great for those looking to accentuate the effect of pigment granulation.
Why is acid-free and cotton paper important?
The best paper is acid-free and has a high amount of cotton. Using acid-free paper helps to prevent the “yellowing” that can happen in paper over the years, meaning your art will stand the test of time. The more cotton a paper has, the better it holds water, the more durable it is, and the more vibrant the pigment remains.
Can you paint on both sides of the paper?
Yes, you can. Each book has 44 pages (or 22 sheets), and each page can be painted on thanks to the quality of the paper.
