Cotman Watercolor Paper
-
-
Description: Finest-grade watercolor paper at an affordable price. The surface texture is created by woven wool felt and looks like the surface of wet paper with water squeezed out. Because the surface texture was made naturally and not created by embossing or a roller, the surface protrusions do not flatten when drawing and can be used for many watercolor techniques. Because of its reduced absorbency, you will need 2 to 3 strokes for a wash, but it produces great color.
