Frequently Asked Questions

What is in this pack?
10 sheets of A4, 300GSM, 100% cotton watercolour paper with a felt finish.

How is it different from the 25% cotton A4 pack?
This paper is 100% cotton, so it holds water longer and blends more smoothly. The 25% cotton pack costs less and suits practice.

Can I use gouache and ink on it?
Yes. The cold pressed surface takes watercolour, gouache, ink and pencil.

Cotton paper or a watercolour pad, which should I pick?
Loose cotton sheets suit finished paintings and lifting work. A pad keeps practice sheets bound together, so pick the pad for daily sketching and these sheets for pieces you plan to keep.
