Product Information

Traditionally, the two sides of a watercolor paper are known as the “felt side” and the “wire side,” which are derived from the production process. Handmade papers are crafted with the use of a hand-held mold that has a wire mesh. When drying the sheet of pulp, it is placed in between sheets of felt. When choosing a watercolor paper for your artwork, you should determine what the project entails so you can plan accordingly. If you want to include plenty of details and combine watercolor with inks, a smooth hot pressed paper is more appropriate for the project. If you want to play with various watercolor techniques, a cold pressed paper can help you bring out more effects because of its texture. This watercolour paper from Daler Rowney offers good colour-stability and it is both mould-made and acid free. This paper will preserve the integrity of your artwork over time and prevent the deterioration of paint and colour. Another thing I like is that the nibs of the markers and pens move on the surface without issues like skipping or feathering. Using watercolor paints, I can render seamless blends and blooms. Apart from that, it can stay wet until I successfully spread the pigment across the paper.
