“An Aladdin's cave of sumptuous art supplies. Their prices are astonishingly good and delivery is fast.”
The Artway 100% Cotton Watercolour Pad contains 12 sheets of 100% cotton, archival quality watercolour paper in A3 or A4 formats. Made on a traditional cylinder mould with natural gelatin sizing, this ensures the fibres are interwoven thus giving the paper far greater strength and dimensional stability.
This exceptionally resilient and durable paper is built for watercolour painting and mixed media work. It will take large volumes of water and, due to its cold pressed surface, can withstand scraping, erasing repeated washes. Colours remain bright and vibrant.
All of our watercolour papers are designed to withstand saturation, and this gummed pad keeps the paper stretched as it dries. The finished piece is then removed free from any buckling.
You have 60 days after receiving your order to request a return, and returns postage is free: we send you a prepaid label, so sending something back costs you nothing.
Free UK delivery on orders over £50.
UK standard £3.95, 2 to 4 working days. UK priority £7.95, 1 to 2 working days. EU £7.95, 5 to 10 working days. Rest of world £10.95, 8 to 12 working days.
Rinse brushes in lukewarm water straight after painting, reshape the point with your fingers, and dry them flat or bristles-up. Treated this way, a good brush lasts years, not weeks.
We are a small family boutique, not a warehouse. Everything we sell is something we would happily paint with ourselves. If it does not meet that bar, it does not go in the box. Questions? Ask us, we paint too.
