Saunders Waterford 190gsm
Saunders Waterford is an exquisite watercolour paper, traditionally made on a cylinder mould machine. Made by St Cuthberts Mill in England 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 cold pressed and rough surfaces are created using natural woollen felts that give it a distinctive random texture. The surface is sized in gelatine making it strong and resilient to scrubbing, and other rough treatment. Available in 190gsm, 300gsm, 425gsm and 638gsm in 56x76 sheets, natural white.
The 190gsm papers make a fine sturdy paper capable of taking many layers. The hot pressed is super smooth, the cold pressed has a wonderful toothy grain.
