New York Central® 100% Cotton Watercolor Blocks

Description

Premium 140lb & 300lb watercolor paper at an affordable price

New York Central’s 100% Cotton Watercolor Paper is made on a slowly rotating cylinder mould.The machine evenly distributes long cotton fibers to make each durable sheet. Internal and external gelatin sizing prevents paint bleed-through and preserves color vibrancy. Each sheet has a balanced grain that softens as a unit when wet. The paper can withstand a multitude of techniques, including wet color blending, paper scratching, and scrubbing.

New York Central Watercolor Blocks are available in a range of unique sizes, and come in 140lb and 300lb weights. The rigid backing board supports the paper and makes plein air painting simple. All four sides of the block are glued to prevent the top sheet from curling and buckling as you paint. There is no need to stretch the paper before using it! New York Central Watercolor Blocks are ideal for wet and dry media, especially watercolor, gouache, ink, and fluid acrylic paint.
