My favorite product from Canson is, without a doubt, the Montval 300g watercolor paper. I've been using it for many years, and it has truly become a trusted companion on my artistic journey. What I appreciate most is its high absorbency and beautifully balanced texture. The brush glides effortlessly, allowing the watercolor to flow naturally and intuitively. This is the paper I use every day in my own creations, and it’s also the one I rely on in every class I teach. I always recommend it with confidence, because I believe that working with quality materials is essential when it comes to transforming our emotions into art in a meaningful and authentic way.
