Jackson's : Two Rivers : Watercolor Paper : Sample Swatches

<p>This envelope of Jackson’s Two Rivers Watercolor Paper Sample Swatches contains three 8.9cm x 8.9cm samples in 140lb, 200lb, and 300lb.</p><p>Made exclusively for Jackson’s by the Two Rivers paper mill in Somerset. This paper is of conservation quality, made with 100% cotton and linen rag and is very hard-sized. This means that the surface is incredibly tough, allowing the artist to work the surface for much longer than with more absorbent artists papers. Because the paint is not drawn into the paper the pigment dries to a sharp and brilliant finish. The inclusion of linen in its make-up results in an unusually tough surface that will resist much lifting out, scrubbing, and re-working.</p><p>Two Rivers has a unique random surface texture unlike the mechanically even weave of most other branded papers. This also means that there is no right or wrong side as both sides are identical. As well as watercolor, our papers are used for other media including pastels, oils, printmaking, photographic processes, and many types of mixed media. The NOT surface is slightly rougher than most.</p><p><b>Please note,</b> only one sample per customer. Standard postage charges apply. Available while stocks last.</p>
