Saunders Waterford® is an exquisite watercolour paper, traditionally made on a cylinder mould machine. Made using 100% cotton, the highest quality papermaking material, to high archival standards. Each sheet is buffered with calcium carbonate to help defend finished pieces of work from discolouration caused by acids present in atmospheric pollution.
The surface is sized in gelatine making it strong and resilient to scrubbing, and other rough treatments. 100% Cotton, acid free. No need to soak and stretch the sheet as the paper dries flat. Excellent for painting on location.
The paper will last for hundreds of years (in good storage conditions) and won’t discolour or fall apart. In addition to watercolour, this paper is suitable for pastel, gouache, acrylic, pencil, charcoal, pen & ink and printmaking.
