Aquafine Watercolour Artboard
Aquafine Watercolour Artboard
The Aquafine Texture cold pressed watercolour artboard pad combines high-quality cold pressed watercolour paper with a 1.4mm rigid backing board, creating a durable and portable surface. This makes it perfect for artists who like to work wherever inspiration strikes.
Made from virgin wood pulp, the natural white surface is alkaline buffered to protect against colour fading and maintain the paper’s longevity. While designed primarily for watercolour and gouache, it also performs well with acrylics, inks, and various dry media. Suitable for both art students and professional artists, this artboard is proudly manufactured in the UK.
- Cold pressed surface tailored for watercolour use
- Acid-free, natural white paper preserves colour vibrancy and paper integrity
- Forgiving texture allows easy blending and corrections
- Sturdy rigid backing ideal for working on the move
- Versatile for watercolour, gouache, acrylics, inks, and dry media
- Available in a variety of sizes
