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.

A new addition to the Saunders family is the High White colour which complements the original range of 'White' papers with a new whiter shade that's much brighter.  A whiter sheet will make finished paintings more contemporary looking, as artists have commented that they felt the original white colour created a more antique look to their finished compositions.

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.
