Sturdy, Textured and Suitable for Wet Media

The Art Spectrum Class Pack Watercolour 300gsm A3 Pack of 25 offers excellent quality at an affordable price, making it ideal for classroom use. Made with 35% cotton, this paper delivers great strength, absorbency, and durability—allowing students and artists to work confidently with a variety of wet media. At 300gsm, it can handle heavy washes without warping, pilling, or tearing. The cold pressed surface features a slightly coarse texture (or 'tooth') that beautifully enhances the effects of watercolour, while also supporting other media like acrylics, inks, water-soluble pencils, and crayons. Sized for convenience, the A3 sheets are suitable for individual projects, group tasks, or portfolio work.

Additional Information

Tip If you intend to use a lot of water in your watercolour painting, then it’s important to stretch your paper before starting to avoid buckling.

How to stretch your watercolour paper:

1. Soak the paper in a bath of water for 5 – 10 minutes (15 – 20 for larger pieces).
2. Remove from the bath and allow excess water to drip off.
3. Fasten the paper on all four sides to a waterproof board such as plywood using gum or masking tape.
4. Lay the board flat and allow to dry.
5. Remove the tape and your paper is ready to use.
