What is a watercolour pad and when do you need one?
A watercolour pad is special paper designed for watercolour paint and other wet painting techniques. You need one when working with watercolours, because ordinary paper is too thin and will curl or tear when exposed to moisture. This Clairefontaine Etival pad offers the sturdiness and absorbency needed for watercolour painting.

Why this size of 24×30 cm?
The 24×30 cm size is ideal for medium-sized watercolour paintings and studies. It is large enough to add detail and try out different techniques, but not so large that it becomes unwieldy. This size fits well on most drawing tables and is practical for both beginners and advanced artists who paint watercolours regularly.

The 300 g/m² weight makes the difference
The paper weight of 300 g/m² ensures the paper keeps its shape when you apply water. Thanks to this weight, the paper absorbs the paint evenly without bleeding through to the back. The fine grain gives you control over how the paint spreads and produces the beautiful colour gradations that are characteristic of watercolour techniques.

Practical benefits of this watercolour pad
The pad contains 25 sheets of 100% cellulose that are acid-free, so your artworks won't discolour over time. The paper is sized, which means the paint stays on the surface and doesn't soak too far into the paper. Good to know: this product is packaged in sets of 2, so you receive two pads at once.
