Baohong Masters Watercolour Paper was developed by renowned Australian watercolour artists Ross Patterson and David Taylor in conjunction with a small family run paper mill in North West China who have a long tradition of traditional paper making. Many years of development has lead to the creation of this exceptional paper.
- Manufactured using 100% cotton chosen for its strength, absorbency, and longevity.
- Traditional manufacturing methods are combined with modern technology to ensure consistent quality and evenness.
- A meticulous sizing process, both internal and external, is followed using traditional gelatin which is crucial for controlling watercolour flow and to prevent buckling.
- This meticulous manufacturing process has created a paper that offers exceptional performance.
- The paper accepts multiple washes without buckling or piling to allow for seamless blending and lifting techniques.
- The exceptional wet strength allows artists to work with multiple layers of wet media and the paper can withstand demanding techniques like scrubbing and lifting.
- Exceptional longevity due to the paper being acid free and pH neutral.
- Suitable for a wide range of watercolour techniques, from delicate washes to bold impasto.
- The competitive price makes this high-quality watercolour paper accessible to a far broader audience.
- A range of surface textures are available to cater for differing painting styles, from the smooth hot press surface to a more textured cold press and rough surface for expressive washes.
