WHY 100% COTTON?
2 YEAR WARRANTY
FAQ
Cotton paper is the best surface for watercolour and is also great for mixed media. 100% cotton paper is capable of taking multiple heavy washes, stands up well to damaging techniques like dry brushing, and it helps keep the pigment looking vibrant over the passage of time. The surface provides the perfect level of brush resistance while allowing the pigment to flow beautifully across the page. Those that "upgrade" to 100% cotton paper often credit it as having had a greater impact on their art than the quality of paint that they use.
We offer a two-year limited warranty, beginning at the time of purchase on all Etchr products sold. We warrant our products to be free from manufacturing defects in materials, workmanship, and failure or breakage of parts/full products that render them non-functional.
What are the paper specifications?
This set has sketchbooks with 230gsm (110lbs) cold press, and 220gsm (100lbs) hot press acid-free, artist-grade, 100% cotton paper. The paper tone is traditional white.
What is the difference between cold and hot press paper?
Cold press paper has a slightly textured finished, or more "tooth". It is often a go to for watercolour artists as the textured finish can provide a little more water control. It is also great for those looking to accentuate the effect of pigment granulation.
Hot press paper has a slightly smoother finish which is great for adding detail, particularly for those using pens or pencils with wet-media. When a hot press paper is made with 100% cotton, it handles washes well and provides for a beautiful, crisp finish.
Why is acid-free and cotton paper important?
The best paper is acid-free and has a high amount of cotton. Using acid-free paper helps to prevent the "yellowing" that can happen in paper over the years, meaning your art will stand the test of time. The more cotton a paper has, the better it holds water, the more durable it is, and the more vibrant the pigment remains.
Can you paint on both sides of the paper?
Yes you can. Each page can be painted on thanks to the quality of the paper.
