Winsor & Newton creates fine art materials and understands the importance of a paper’s performance in influencing the final work. However some artists don’t know what makes one paper perform better than another. So, Winsor & Newton works with expert papermakers to test quality papers and select superior surfaces that maximize the performance of the art material used, whatever your skill level.
Winsor & Newton is committed to sustainability, and the range is responsibly sourced with 80% of our papers certifiably sourced (FSC) and 40% made using renewable energy. Winsor & Newton papers are also vegan, as all materials used during the process are synthetic and not animal derived.
Watercolour
Available in two levels, professional and regular, both ranges are of archival quality and are non-yellowing natural white. The Professional Watercolour paper is 100% cotton paper and traditional mould-made. It has optimal absorbency and extreme resistance to prevent warping. It is available in Hot Press, Cold Press and Rough. The regular Watercolour paper is 25% cotton cold-pressed paper and ideal for most watercolour styles. It is sized and treated for absorbance and warp resistance.
