Daler Rowney Aquafine Watercolour Pads – Smooth

The Daler Rowney Aquafine Pads are crafted for artists who prefer a refined, silky surface for their watercolour work. Each pad contains 12 sheets of 300gsm hot-pressed paper, offering a smooth texture. This is perfect for detailed brushwork, ink illustrations, and gouache layering.

It’s manufactured on a Fourdrinier machine using 100% virgin wood pulp. Tthe paper is acid-free and calcium carbonate buffered, which helps preserve colour vibrancy and prevents deterioration over time.

Because of its firm surface, this pad allows for clean erasing and works well with masking fluid. This makes it ideal for evolving compositions and precise techniques. Additionally, the smooth finish supports even washes, fine lines, and controlled pigment flow, making it a favourite among botanical illustrators and technical artists.

Available in A4 and A3 formats, these pads suit both studio and plein air painting. Whether you’re creating soft gradients or crisp edges, the Aquafine Smooth Pad offers a reliable and elegant surface for your creative process.
