Quality watercolor paper offered in bulk pack of 50 sheets. The term cold press refers to the “tooth” or texture of the paper. Cold press watercolor paper is known for having a bit of texture. The texture allows the paper to soak up water and paint more readily than a hot press watercolor paper, which is smooth. Cold press paper has many benefits for the budding artist. It is very absorbent, allowing for a more even wash of water and color. This paper is forgiving and easy to work on. Great for kids and artists of all ages. Made in Germany.
