Fabriano Classic Artisti 300gsm Watercolour Block 9 x 12in – Cold Pressed

Fabriano Classic Artisti blocks offer a 300gsm cold pressed watercolour paper at an accessible price, making them a sound choice for regular practice, classes and sketching. The paper is bound into a block gummed on all sides, so it stays flat as you work and there is no need to stretch it before painting.

Cold pressed paper has a moderate texture that is easy to handle for washes, glazes and detail alike, which is why it remains the most popular surface for watercolour painters. The 300gsm weight copes well with wet-in-wet techniques without excessive buckling.

Four block sizes are available, from a small 5 x 7in for studies and travel to 12 x 18in for larger paintings. When a painting is dry, slide a palette knife under the top sheet and work it gently around the edge to release it.
