Saunders Waterford is an exquisite watercolour paper, traditionally made on a cylinder mould machine. This is the superior quality watercolour paper made by St Cuthberts Mill and comes with the Royal Watercolour Society’s endorsement. Made using 100% cotton, the highest quality papermaking material, to high archival standards. Each sheet is buffered with calcium carbonate to help defend finished pieces of work from discolouration caused by acids present in atmospheric pollution.
Its attractive surface is created using natural woollen felts that give it a distinctive random texture. The surface is sized in gelatine making it strong and resilient to scrubbing, and other rough treatments.
Available in White and High White, which we believe is the whitest archival watercolour paper made.
Saunders Waterford is a top quality professional watercolour paper.

I loooove this paper. My first taste of a 600gsm and it is a dream. It is very forgiving for a smooth paper. It has a slight texture to it that is just divine. I do find I can’t get as sharp lines on it on the initial washes. But it doesn’t worry me and working with the paper. I also love the customer service at senior art. Since I began my watercolour journey I have been a loyal customer and they are always fantastic. Fast and efficient.

I Like this paper, but prefer the 300gsm for most of my paintings. It is a good product though.
