Description
This is a description of high white watercolor paper from Saunders Waterford. The paper is endorsed by the Royal Watercolour Society and is made of 100% cotton rag. The paper is more durable than lower grades of paper and has a rough finish.
This superb artist grade paper from Saunders Waterford has a
watermark in the corner for authenticity and 4 deckle edges which
are visually beautiful and perfect for float framing.Please note
that while Saunders Waterford High White papers are noticeably
whiter than the traditional Saunders Waterford paper, they still
have a pale cream appearance. This is because it is not currently
possible to whiten the paper to a bright white without compromising
light-fastness by using Optical Brightening Agents. The whiter
shade of Saunders Waterford High White paper is achieved by adding
a high white lightfast pigment with good long-life properties, as
used in some watercolour paints. Artists grade watercolour paper is
archival which means it will not discolour or fall apart over time.
It is made of 100% cotton rag. This paper is much more durable than
lower grades of paper because it is gelatine surface sized and it
is mould-made, both of which mean it can take scrubbing of the
surface without falling apart. Saunders Waterford paper is endorsed
by the Royal Watercolour Society.Please note, these sheets have a
rough finish: they have a rough surface, and are not suitable for
detailed watercolour painting. For more information on the
