The Mont Marte Premium Watercolour Block 100% Cotton A3 contains 12 sheets of 300gsm cold-pressed paper. A rough tooth surface holds heavy pigment loads and survives multiple ink washes without pilling. Gummed edges secure the paper on all four sides to prevent buckling during wet applications.
Key Features
- 100% Cotton Composition: 300gsm fibers absorb water across the 297x420mm surface area. High absorbency prevents pigment pooling.
- Anti-Warping Gummed Edges: Four-side glue binding keeps 12 sheets flat during heavy saturation. This stops paper from curling.
- Acid-Free Longevity: pH-neutral paper grade prevents yellowing or degradation over time. Artwork maintains pigment brilliance.
- Cold-Pressed Rough Tooth: Textured surface provides mechanical grip for layered watercolor techniques. Resists pilling despite road dust exposure.
