Saunders Waterford : 1/4 Sheet : 425gsm (200lb) : Single : High White : Hot Pressed

SKU PPX200H14

This superb artist-grade paper from Saunders Waterford is a 100% cotton watercolor paper, with a structure giving it strength and a characteristic feel. The manufacturing process, using a cylinder mold, makes it possible to obtain harmonious and varied grains with rough, cold pressed, and hot pressed quality. The paper is gelatin-sized, and then air-dried, so that the colors retain a fine rendering even after being scraped and erased. Its natural whiteness (no optical bleaches), mildew protection and neutral PH mean that the paper has a very long shelf-life. Saunders Waterford paper is also endorsed by the Royal Watercolor Society. These sheets are hot pressed: they have an extremely smooth surface, ideal for detailed watercolor painting.

Please note, that while Saunders Waterford High White papers are noticeably whiter than the traditional Saunders Waterford paper, they still have a pale cream appearance. This is because it is not currently possible to whiten the paper to a bright white without compromising lightfastness by using Optical Brightening Agents. The whiter shade of Saunders Waterford High White paper is achieved by adding a high white lightfast pigment with good long-life properties, as used in some watercolor paints. This is a single 1/4 sheet of Saunders Waterford watercolor paper 425gsm (200lb), High White, Hot Pressed.
