Description
Traditionnally produced on a cylinder-mould machine, Aquarelle Canson® paper is made from 60% cotton fibres. It has excellent longevity due to the fact it is alkaline-buffered.
Its natural white colour allows the artist to play with contrasts and perspectives and it brings light and homogeneity to watercolours. It is very simple to correct whether the paper is wet or dry.

Mould made: What is this...
Cylinder mould machines look kind of like time machines! First, because their quality comes close to handmade papers, the original papermaking process.
Second, because its structure is just plain amazing: long belts drive a huge cylinder (the cylinder mould). This is where sheets of paper are formed, giving watercolor paper its:
- homogeneity (thanks to the perfect matting of the fibers)
- water resistance
- stability when adding color
- elasticity (the sheet of paper slackens evenly when you wet it; it goes back to its original state when dry).
- a specific, unique grain.
