Artists' Watercolor Papers

ARTIOS watercolor papers are made for wet techniques. At 300 GSM they stay flat without stretching, and the textured surface holds water long enough for wet-on-wet blending and multi-layer washes.

• 300 GSM heavyweight, no stretching or soaking required before use
• Optimally textured for both large even washes and fine detail work
• Acid-free natural white surface that shows true colour
• Handmade with a rough texture that adds character to brushwork
• Works well with watercolor, acrylic, gouache, ink and mixed media
• Suitable for all skill levels

Choosing the right paper: These papers are a good all-round choice for watercolor and mixed media. For the most professional results, our 100% cotton watercolor paper gives better colour lifting and longer working time on wet techniques. For everyday practice, the 25% cotton paper offers good value without much compromise.
