Watercolor Paper for Artists and Beginners

Our mission at Paul Rubens is to provide affordable, high-quality art supplies, inspiring everyone to discover the beauty of artistic expression and keep art alive forever.

Dedicated to watercolor artists, Paul Rubens offers a range of finely ground pigments with exceptional permanence ratings. We adhere to traditional stone grinding tools and manual methods to process our pigments, selecting only the purest, gem-grade materials to ensure long-lasting durability and stability. The result is vibrant colors, high transparency, and fine pigments that will keep your artwork looking beautiful for years without fading.

What makes our products unique?

• Colloid Selection: Our watercolor paints are made with transparent, water-soluble gum arabic.
• Pigment Selection: We only use highly durable, premium-quality pigments, never opting for cheaper alternatives.
• High Purity: Our watercolor pigments are produced solely from high-purity toners, without any added fillers that could alter their properties.
• Grinding and Filling: Each color is meticulously ground multiple times to achieve the perfect consistency.

Our watercolor blocks feature 100% cotton, acid-free hot-pressed paper that is ideal for both beginners and professionals. The paper is glued on all four sides to prevent warping, even with heavy washes. When you're ready to use a new sheet, simply flip the block over, find the unglued opening, and gently insert a knife to split the glue and remove the top sheet.

The hot-pressed paper is perfect for precise watercolor techniques, as it has a smooth, flat surface that allows for excellent brush detail and vivid pigment colors. The higher paper density also gives you more control and working time before the paint dries.

This watercolor paper is made from long-staple cotton with fine fibers, allowing it to better absorb pigments and shorten drying time, so you can create beautiful artworks more quickly. As the paper is 100% cotton and acid-free, your paintings will be protected from fading or becoming brittle over time.

Our watercolor paper blocks are available in a convenient 10.82 x 7.79 inch (27.5 x 19.8 cm) size, with 20 sheets per block, suitable for both beginners and experienced artists. We also offer a dual-sided watercolor paper notebook, featuring 140 lb (300 gsm) paper and beautiful illustrations by watercolor artists, perfect as a gift or for your own creative journey.
