Lana Aquarelle Artists 100% Cotton Watercolour Pad 300gsm - Choose Texture & Pad Type
Traditional French Craftsmanship Meets Modern Watercolour Excellence
Lanaquarelle Watercolour Paper Pads represent the finest European papermaking tradition, crafted in France by the historic Lana paper mill, established in 1590. Made from 100% cotton and naturally white in tone, this premium 300 GSM watercolour paper is cylinder mould-made and gelatin-sized to deliver exceptional absorbency, surface strength, and superior paint control.
Available in both Glued Pad and Spiral Pad formats, these pads offer flexibility for studio, classroom, and outdoor painting. Whether you prefer the clean edges of a glued pad or the convenience of tear-off sheets in a spiral pad, Lanaquarelle adapts perfectly to your workflow.
Ideal for professional artists and serious enthusiasts, Lanaquarelle paper is valued for its forgiving surface, rich texture, and excellent performance with both wet and dry techniques. Choose from Hot Press (Smooth), Cold Press (Fine Grain), or Rough Press textures to match your artistic style.
