Fabriano Studio Watercolor Paper – St. Louis Art Supply

4.9 (526) · $ 17.99 · In stock

Fabriano Studio Watercolor Paper is a hidden gem in the art paper aisle—in some stores, you might find it wedged between inferior pads that cost twice as much. But behind the low price tag, there's a very high-quality paper, made by one of the truly historic paper mills of Europe. Fabriano manufactures this low-cost paper in eastern Italy, with skilled workers, quality ingredients, and a commitment to sustainability. (This paper is vegan, FSC-certified, and made with hydropower.)

The paper itself is a balanced, durable surface for watercolor, ink, mixed media, pen and pencil. The smooth hot press paper is an excellent choice for working with your fountain or dip pens, then adding watercolor or blending with a wet brush. The textured cold press paper is a classic surface for traditional watercolor work, like landscapes, portraits, and botanical paintings. Both surfaces are made with 25% cotton rag, for a soft but smooth surface that accepts both paint and pen with equal ease.

Available in various sizes, mostly with 12 sheets per pad but available in select sizes in an XL 50-sheet format. Please check the options before adding to your cart.

Made in Italy.
