The Baohong Masters Watercolour Paper – Rough is an artist-grade 300gsm / 140lb watercolor paper made from high-grade 100% cotton using the traditional cylinder mould process. It is acid free, chlorine free, pH neutral and archival, with natural gelatin sizing to support controlled interaction between water and pigment. Its natural white tone contains no optical brighteners, allowing the character and undertones of your watercolor pigments to remain beautifully balanced.
The pronounced rough surface gives the paper a strong grain that becomes an active part of the painting. It enhances granulation, dry-brush marks and broken strokes, while broad washes gain extra movement and visual depth. This is a paper for artists who want surface texture to contribute visibly to the finished work and add character to every layer of color.
