Saunders Waterford
Saunders Waterford is the highest quality watercolour paper offered to
artists by St Cuthberts Mill. Mouldmade using 100% cotton and endorsed
by the Royal Watercolour Society of England, this is a paper of pure
luxury.
Available
in three surface finishes. HP (Hot Pressed) is the smoothest, which is
great for high detail paintings. CP (Cold Pressed) is a good
intermediate surface which is great for most types of paintings. Rough
is exactly what its name suggests, a fantastic surface for landscapes
and seascapes where the surface can really work with the painting. Each
of the three surfaces is resilient to buckling and offers exceptional
color stability.
The paper you choose should always reflect the image you are trying to create.
Rough
- If you want to do a landscape or seascape, a rough paper with a
surface full of natural peaks and valleys will complement the image
beautifully, giving it depth and feeling.
Cold Press - A surface in between 'Rough' and 'HP' is the most versatile and can be used for many different types of painting.
Hot Press
- The smooth surface makes it perfectly suited for delicate brushwork
and illustration. The surface sizing eliminates pen marks from
feathering making it also suited for calligraphy.
