Daler Rowney Aquafine Jumbo Pad, 12x9”, 300gsm, 50 Sheets, Watercolour Paper for Student Artists

Size: 12 x 9 inches (305 x 229 mm); Paper Weight: 300gsm; Sheets: 50 per pad; Texture: Cold-pressed; Surface: Acid-free; Absorbency: Excellent for washes without excessive warping.

Yes. The Aquafine Jumbo Pad uses an acid-free surface to help prevent yellowing and to support long-term color stability.

Absolutely. The 300gsm weight and cold-pressed texture are designed to hold washes well and distribute pigment evenly, making it great for wet-on-wet and glazing techniques.

It's well-suited for beginners and intermediate watercolor artists, especially for practicing washes, gradients, color mixing, and experimentation with different wet techniques.

Work on a flat, clean surface. If needed, tape the sheet gently to a board to prevent curling, apply a light initial wash, and paint from light to dark to reduce the chance of overworking the paper.

Store pads flat in a cool, dry place. Keep the pad closed when not in use and avoid exposing it to excessive moisture or humidity to prevent warping or mold.

The paper is acid-free, non-toxic in terms of manufacturing standards for artist papers, and typically packaged in recyclable materials.
