Description

Saunders Waterford Cold Press Watercolour Pads

Saunders Waterford is an exquisite watercolour paper, traditionally made on a cylinder mould machine. These Waterford Cold Press Watercolour Pads feature 12 sheets of white, 140lb paper, taped on 1 side. Made using 100% cotton, the highest quality papermaking material, to high archival standards. Each sheet is buffered with calcium carbonate to help defend finished pieces of work from discoloration caused by acids present in atmospheric pollution.

This archival watercolor paper will last for hundreds of years (in good storage conditions) and won’t discolor or fall apart. This is the superior quality watercolour paper made by St Cuthbert’s Mill and comes with the Royal Watercolour Society’s endorsement. Its attractive surface is made using natural woolen felts that give it a distinctive random texture. The surface features gelatin sizing, making it strong and resilient to scrubbing, and other rough treatments.

The beautiful random surface texture enhances the finished painting, and makes the paper very strong and assists with flow of wash from brush to paper. It is resistant to scrubbing and other extreme treatments like masking fluid removal.
