CANSON Montval is a watercolour paper developed by Gaspard Maillol, nephew of sculptor Aristide Maillol, produced at CANSON at his request in the early 20th century. Since then, the paper has gained further advantages. It is available in a variety of grammage weights and formulations for every type of application – from all-round glued blocks and spiral blocks to sheets and rolls. This Montval paper with a surface weight of 300 g/m² is suitable for all wet techniques, such as watercolour, but also gouache or acrylic and is particularly tear-resistant thanks to the high surface weight. In addition, the required amount of water can be measured more easily for heavier papers. This paper is therefore a well-coordinated option if not all the subtleties of watercolour painting are yet mastered. Made in France, premium quality watercolour paper is easy to use. Thanks to its correction ability, which means the painting can be "erased", Montval is particularly suitable for beginners and advanced users. You can remove the paint with a damp brush without damaging the paper, so it forgives any mistakes. Thanks to the described properties, it is easy for everyone to use and allows you to practice and learn watercolour painting. Montval, as fine paper of the highest quality, has good colour rendering and has a quick drying time. The fine watercolour paper in premium quality is made on the long sieve machine. Its fine-grained surface allows you to create a wide range of effects and implementations, such as relief effects and can be processed very precisely at the same time. The slightly grained surface structure reflects the light optimally and thus maintains the transparency of the watercolour paints. The paper is acid-free and free from optical brighteners, which ensures that the white tone remains over time and the watercolour paper does not yellow. It is also fungicide treated to protect the paper and ensure optimal ageing resistance. The watercolour paper complies with ISO standard 9706, as it meets the requirements for ageing resistance and archiving. The cardboard on the back provides enough stability to use the pad on the go. Montval is now the worldwide reference for fine artist watercolour paper. The delicate colour, fine surface and numerous quality features make the paper a classic must-have within the CANSON product family. The 4-sided glued pad in the format 19 x 24 cm contains 12 sheets.
