WATERFORD WATERCOLOR ROUGH WHITE 4-DECKLE 300g 22X30

SAUNDERS WATERFORD WATERCOLOR PAPER – ROUGH WHITE – 4-DECKLE – 300GSM – 22" X 30" – SINGLE SHEET

Saunders Waterford® is a professional-quality watercolor paper traditionally made by St Cuthberts Mill in England. Crafted from 100% cotton on a cylinder mould machine, it combines exceptional durability, archival permanence, and the distinctive character of a traditionally made fine art paper.

The Rough surface features a pronounced, naturally irregular texture created using natural woolen felts. Its deeper tooth catches pigment beautifully, encouraging dramatic granulation, broken brush marks, expressive washes, and the rich surface effects prized by watercolorists who want the texture of the paper to become an active part of the finished painting.

The traditional White shade provides a softly balanced foundation for watercolor, allowing both transparent washes and deeper passages of color to retain their natural character without the brighter appearance of a High White sheet.

At 300gsm (140lb), the paper has substantial body and is internally and externally sized for excellent strength and resilience. The durable surface withstands repeated washes and demanding techniques such as lifting, scrubbing, and scraping while maintaining its integrity.

Manufactured to high archival standards, Saunders Waterford is acid-free and buffered with calcium carbonate to help protect finished artwork against discoloration caused by acids and atmospheric pollutants.
