Overview
A 12-sheet pad of 300gsm cold pressed watercolor paper in a 9x12 inch size, made from a cotton blend for wet media work that needs to hold up to layered washes.
At 300gsm this sits at a heavier weight than typical student-grade pads, which matters for anyone laying down multiple wet washes without the paper buckling. The surface is finished cold pressed, meaning it has visible texture rather than the smoother tooth of a hot pressed sheet. No seller description or buyer reviews were provided for this listing, so these notes come from the stated paper specs alone.
- 12 sheets at 300gsm
- 9 x 12 inch cold pressed sheets
- Cotton blend fiber content
- Acid free and vegan
Who it's for
Suited to watercolorists and mixed media artists who want a textured surface with weight to spare for heavier washes. It is not the choice for artists who prefer a smooth hot pressed surface for fine detail.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 300gsm weight holds up to layered washes
- Cold pressed texture suits traditional watercolor technique
- Acid free construction for longer-lasting finished pieces
- Vegan formulation with no animal-derived sizing
- Only 12 sheets per pad
- Cold press texture is not suited to fine detail or ink work
Performance notes
The 300gsm weight and cotton fiber content give the sheet enough body to resist warping under repeated wet layers, which is the main failure point of lighter watercolor paper. The paper is also acid free, which matters for archival longevity of finished work.
