Fabriano 5 300gsm Watercolour Block 9 x 14in – Cold Pressed

Fabriano 5 sits between Fabriano's student and professional papers, offering a mould-made watercolour paper containing 50% cotton. The cotton content gives it a pleasing feel and good handling for washes and glazes, while keeping the price within reach for regular painting.

It is offered in 300gsm 50 x 70cm sheets in hot pressed, cold pressed and rough surfaces, so you can cut paper to size or work at full sheet. Blocks gummed on four sides are available in cold pressed and rough in four sizes from 9 x 12in to 14 x 20in, letting you paint without stretching the paper first.

Fabriano 5 is a good step up for painters moving on from wood-pulp papers who want more forgiving washes and better lifting.
