Bockingford Watercolour Paper Rough Block is an exceptional choice for artists seeking high-quality watercolour paper. Manufactured in England at St Cuthbert’s Mill, this paper is traditionally made on a cylinder mould machine, providing a superior surface that enhances your artistic creations.

Key Features:

• High-Quality Watercolour Paper: Bockingford watercolour paper is crafted to archival standards using pure materials, ensuring your artwork’s longevity.
• Distinctive Texture: The rough surface of the paper is created using natural woollen felts, resulting in a unique, random texture that adds character to your paintings.
• Superior Colour Lifting: Known for its excellent colour lifting capabilities, this watercolour paper is forgiving and ideal for both professional and amateur artists.
• Cylinder Mould Made: This traditional production method ensures superior surface stability, perfect for detailed and consistent watercolour work.
• Acid-Free and Archival: The paper is acid-free and made to archival standards, preserving the vibrancy and integrity of your artwork over time.
• Lightfast: Made from 100% wood-free bleached chemical pulp, buffered with calcium carbonate (pH 7-9), and free from optical whitening agents, ensuring high lightfastness.
• Versatile Use: Suitable for various mediums, including watercolour, pastel, gouache, acrylic, pencil, charcoal, and pen & ink.

Usage Tips:

• Storage: Store the paper flat and avoid exposure to extreme temperatures and direct sunlight to maintain its quality. Handle the edges instead of the painting surface to prevent damage.
• Preparation: For lighter weights like 300gsm, soaking and stretching the paper can help avoid buckling during washes.
• Care: Keep the paper away from detergents to preserve its absorbency. While Bockingford watercolour paper lacks gelatine surface sizing, it’s crucial to remove masking fluid before it hardens to prevent damage.
