The History of "WATSON" Watercolor Paper
The Story of "WATOSON": A Masterpiece of Trust in Japan In 1960, during an era when imported papers dominated the Japanese market, "watson" made its debut as a pioneering domestic watercolor paper. Since then, it has grown to become a beloved staple in the artistic community across Japan, renowned for its exceptional reliability and consistency. Today, it is no exaggeration to say that this signature paper is synonymous with the identity of muse.
● A Traditional Natural Cream Tone: Perfect for Soft and Elegant Expressions The paper features a warm, yellowish natural cream hue. This gentle tone harmonizes beautifully with your artwork, easing the initial creative tension as you place your first brushstroke. It is uniquely suited for elegant pieces that capture serene, subtle seasonal palettes like those of spring or autumn.
● The Perfect Texture: Versatile Medium Grain (Cold Pressed) Featuring a well-balanced, medium-textured surface, this paper offers excellent tooth for watercolor, charcoal, and pastel. It delivers exceptionally vibrant and true-to-life watercolor color payoffs.
● Exceptional Workability and Creative Freedom Its superior water retention makes it outstanding for advanced techniques such as washes, wet-in-wet blending, backruns (blooms), and lifting colors. For pastel artists, the natural elasticity of its cotton fibers prevents the paper texture from flattening, allowing for rich, layered work that can even achieve an oil-painting-like finish.
Four-Sided Glued Watercolor Block
This block-style product is bound with glue on all four sides. Even when painting with heavy water washes, the paper settles back to a flat state, minimizing warping and buckling once dry. After your artwork has completely dried, gently remove the sheet by inserting a paper knife through the opening located at the bottom.
