VEGAN FRIENDLY
Cotton paper is the best surface for watercolour and is also great for mixed media. 100% cotton paper is capable of taking multiple heavy washes, stands up well to damaging techniques like dry brushing, and helps keep the pigment looking vibrant over the passage of time. The surface provides the perfect level of brush resistance while allowing the pigment to flow beautifully across the page. Those that "upgrade" to 100% cotton paper often credit it as having had a greater impact on their art than the quality of paint that they use.
350 gsm, acid-free, 100% cotton paper
Cold press paper has a slightly textured finished, 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.
Hot press paper has a slightly smoother finish which is great for adding detail, particularly for those using pens or pencils with wet-media. When a hot press paper is made with 100% cotton, it handles washes well and provides for a beautiful, crisp finish.

Why is acid-free and cotton paper important?
The best paper is acid-free and has a high amount of cotton because it means the paper is less prone to turning yellow or deteriorating over time. Also, the more cotton a paper has, the better it holds water and the more vibrant the pigment remains.
What is the size of the paper block?
This paper block is 9" x 12" in size.
How do you remove the sheets from the block?
When your painting is finished and dry, simply insert a palette knife (or similar instrument) below the sheet that you just painted and run it all the way around to free your painting from the block.
