The Gold Standard in Watercolor Paper for Generations
For centuries, artists around the world have trusted this legendary watercolor paper for its strength, responsiveness, and uncompromising quality. Made in France from 100% long cotton fibers, the sheets are cylinder mould-made and gelatin-sized “to the core”—both internally and externally—to offer unmatched surface strength and control. This sizing prevents paint from sinking too deeply, allowing for smooth blending, lifting, and corrections without compromising the paper’s integrity. Whether you’re building translucent washes or scrubbing back to whites, this surface handles it all with grace.
Acid-free, pH-neutral, and free of optical brighteners, these sheets are designed for long-term archival preservation. Available in a range of textures—hot press, cold press, and rough—and finished with elegant deckled edges, they’re equally suited for watercolor, gouache, acrylic, ink, and even dry media. With its refined surface and time-honored craftsmanship, this paper offers professional performance for artists seeking both tradition and excellence in every stroke.
