This superb artist grade paper from Saunders Waterford has a
watermark in the corner for authenticity and 4 deckle edges which
are visually beautiful and perfect for float framing.Please note
that while Saunders Waterford High White papers are noticeably
whiter than the traditional Saunders Waterford paper, they still
have a pale cream appearance. This is because it is not currently
possible to whiten the paper to a bright white without compromising
light-fastness by using Optical Brightening Agents. The whiter
shade of Saunders Waterford High White paper is achieved by adding
a high white lightfast pigment with good long-life properties, as
used in some watercolour paints. Artists grade watercolour paper is
archival which means it will not discolour or fall apart over time
and is made of 100% cotton rag. This paper is much more durable
than lower grades of paper because it is gelatine surface sized and
it is mould-made, both of which mean it can take scrubbing of the
surface without falling apart. Saunders Waterford paper is endorsed
by the Royal Watercolour Society.Please note, these sheets are
hot-pressed: they have an extremely smooth surface, ideal for
detailed watercolour painting. For more information on the

Great Quality

Although this is such a great quality paper and I really enjoy painting on it's surface, the "high white"description is a bit misleading as it isn't as white as I had hoped - if they had called it white, it would have been more suitable. High white of Fabriano is what I would classify as high white. But I do love Saunders Waterford as a product it is just a pity that this colour is not what I was hoping for.
