The History of "WHITE WATSON" Watercolor Paper

The iconic "Watson" watercolor paper debuted in 1960, earning the trust of countless artists across Japan over the decades. In response to passionate customer demand, "White Watson"—celebrated for its beautiful, refreshing white color—was introduced in 2002. Today, it stands alongside Natural Watson, enjoying immense support and appreciation as one of Japan's most trusted domestic watercolor papers.

• A Crisp, Brilliant White: Perfect for Deep Expressions of Light and Contrast With a high brightness ideal for capturing sharp tonal contrasts—such as intense summer light or deep winter shadows—this paper allows you to build powerful contrast from the very first brushstroke. Crucially, this exceptional whiteness is achieved using only natural water, without any chemical optical brighteners.
• 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.
