Timeless, Handmade Watercolor Paper with a Unique Character
Nujabi Handmade Watercolor Paper brings centuries of tradition to your fingertips. Each sheet is individually crafted in India using a paper-making technique that has been passed down for over a thousand years. Made from 100% cotton and free from acids, these papers offer a beautifully soft, cold press texture that’s gentle on brushes and ideal for expressive mark-making.
Unlike modern machine-made papers, Nujabi features minimal sizing, meaning it absorbs water and pigment quickly—ideal for artists who love working wet-on-wet or layering washes. The softened surface texture resembles mould-made cold press sheets but with a unique hand-crafted feel that enhances pencil, ink, and brushwork alike. Every sheet boasts natural deckled edges, adding a touch of authenticity and artisanal charm to your finished pieces.
