Aquafine watercolour paper is aimed at beginners and students as well as professional artists preferring to work in mainly ‘dry’ watercolour painting techniques. It offers good water absorb-ability and the surface is fairly hard, making it easily erasable and suitable for masking fluid without stretching.The paper has a smooth (hot pressed) surface which is the flattest surface of all watercolour papers in the Aquafine range, making it a very versatile paper popular for watercolour and line wash work.
