St. Cuthberts Mill Saunders Watercolor Paper Block - 12x9-inch White 100% Cotton - 20 Sheets of 140lb Hot Press Watercolor Paper for Gouache Ink Acrylic Charcoal and More

St Cuthberts Mill has been making paper since the 1700’s and are specialists in creating high quality archival artist papers. The St Cuthberts Mill name is a hallmark for quality and reliability. Master papermakers create SAUNDERS WATERFORD from 100% cotton using a cylinder mould machine at their mill in Wells, in the English county of Somerset. Mould made papers are excellent for artists due to their stable surface which naturally stays flatter than other papers, because of the superior surface stability when washes are applied. SAUNDERS WATERFORD is the premium watercolour paper from St Cuthberts Mill. This exquisite looking paper has a gelatine surface coating making it robust and suitable for scratching, scrubbing and other rough techniques. The paper is endorsed by the UK’s prestigious Royal Watercolour Society (RWS). It has a beautiful smooth texture. SAUNDERS WATERFORD’s HP surface is the smoothest of the three finishes and suitable for botanical and highly detailed paintings. The White shade is the original colour of the range and is a creamy white shade that will give warmth to a painting. Glued on all 4 edges, this block is designed to dry flat, so artists do not need to soak and stretch the sheet prior to painting, perfect for working plein air. Suitable for watercolour, acrylic, gouache, pen & ink, pastel, pencil and charcoal techniques.
