Watercolour paper

What is watercolour paper?

Watercolour paper is specially designed to handle water-based paints without warping or tearing. Unlike regular paper, it has a textured surface and heavier weight, which makes it perfect for painting techniques such as washes, layering, and blending. This type of paper is a must-have for artists and hobbyists who enjoy painting with watercolours or experimenting with mixed media.

Different types of watercolour paper

At Vaessen Creative, you will find a wide variety of watercolour paper within our paper & cardboard collection. Options include watercolour paper A3 for larger artworks, A4 for versatile projects, and A5 or A6 for smaller studies, postcards, or portable sketching. For those who want to achieve professional-quality results, watercolour paper 300g provides extra thickness and durability, allowing it to absorb more water and layers of paint. With these different formats and weights, you can always choose the perfect paper for your creative style.

Creative hobbies & projects with watercolour paper

Watercolour paper can be used in many hobbies. In watercolour painting, it is the ideal surface for creating vibrant washes, fine details, and layered effects. In flower crafting, watercolours on textured paper can be cut and shaped into unique floral designs for cards or wall art. Another inspiring use is in spring crafting, where soft pastel tones and light washes bring seasonal illustrations and decorations to life. Watercolour paper is versatile, making it suitable for both traditional painting and creative crafts.

Why choose watercolour paper for your projects?

The main advantage of watercolour paper is its strength and texture. It can withstand repeated washes and techniques that regular paper cannot handle. The surface allows colours to blend beautifully while maintaining vibrancy. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced artist, watercolour paper gives your work a professional finish and helps you achieve results that stand out.
