Daler Rowney Aquafine Watercolour Pad – Texture

The Daler Rowney Watercolour Pad offers an ideal surface for artists working in dry watercolour techniques, as well as gouache and ink. To begin with, each pad includes 12 sheets of 300gsm cold-pressed paper, which provides a fine grain texture that supports expressive brushwork and delicate washes.

Moreover, the paper is produced using a Fourdrinier machine and made from 100% virgin wood pulp, ensuring consistent quality throughout. In addition, it’s acid-free and calcium carbonate buffered, which helps preserve colour vibrancy over time.

Thanks to its fairly hard surface, the pad is also suitable for masking fluid and allows for easy erasing, making it perfect for evolving compositions. Furthermore, it handles layering and glazing well, offering reliable results whether you’re a student or a seasoned artist. The textured surface not only enhances pigment granulation, but also improves brush control—especially during detailed work.

You’ll find this pad available in a variety of formats such as A4, A3, and larger sizes, which means it’s just as useful in studio settings as it is for outdoor sketching. All in all, the Aquafine Texture Pad delivers a satisfying blend of performance, durability, and tactile elegance.
