Paint Without Limits on a Legendary Surface
For over 500 years, artists have trusted this exceptional watercolor paper—crafted in the same historic French mill since 1492. Made from 100% cotton and both internally and externally gelatin sized, these pre-stretched blocks offer the perfect blend of strength, absorbency, and surface response. Glued on all four sides, each sheet stays perfectly flat while you paint—eliminating the need to soak, stretch, tape, or clamp your paper before getting started. Whether you're working with watercolors, ink, gouache, or acrylics, this air-dried, acid-free paper delivers consistent, archival-quality performance every time.
Available in Cold Press, Hot Press, and Rough finishes and in two professional-grade weights (140 lb. and 300 lb.), these blocks provide a ready-to-go surface for artists at home, in the studio, or out in the field. With a beautifully natural white tone and the tactile feel of true craftsmanship, they’re ideal for plein air painters, traveling artists, and anyone who wants to focus on the art—not the prep.
