For which techniques is this block intended?
This watercolour block has been specially developed for watercolour techniques and other wet painting techniques. The 200 g/m² paper has enough weight to absorb watercolour paint well without tearing or buckling. Thanks to the glued binding, the paper remains stable, even when working with a lot of moisture.

Why choose this size?
The 30×40 cm format offers space for extensive watercolour works without feeling restricted in your composition. This is a popular size for paintings you want to frame or exhibit. With 25 sheets per block, you have enough paper for a series of works or to experiment with different techniques.

What does the fine grain mean?
The fine grain gives a subtle paper texture that is ideal for detailed watercolour work. This type of surface absorbs paint gradually and gives you more control over colour transitions and details. The 100% cellulose paper is acid-free, so your artworks will not discolour over time.

Practical benefits of this block
Thanks to the glued binding, you can work directly on the block without first removing the paper from it. This prevents buckling and tearing while painting. The block is packaged in sets of 2, which is handy if you paint regularly or teach classes. Store the block dry and flat to preserve the quality of the paper.
