  • Cylinder Mould Made: This traditional production method provides a superior surface stability, ideal for detailed and consistent watercolour work.
  • Acid-Free and Archival: Ensures your artwork remains vibrant and undamaged over time, thanks to its acid-free composition.
  • High Lightfastness: Made from 100% woodfree bleached chemical pulp, calcium carbonate buffered with a pH of 7-9, and no optical whitening agents, guaranteeing high lightfastness.
  • Versatile: Suitable for various mediums including watercolour, pastel, gouache, acrylic, pencil, charcoal, and pen & ink.

Usage Tips:

  • Storage: Store flat and avoid extreme temperatures and direct sunlight to maintain the paper's quality. Handle the painting surface minimally, using the edges instead.
  • Preparation: For lighter weights like 300gsm, consider soaking and stretching the paper to prevent buckling during washes.
  • Care: Avoid exposing the paper to detergents to maintain its absorbency. Although Bockingford does not have gelatine surface sizing, it is important to remove masking fluid before it dries hard to avoid damaging the paper.
