Aquapad
Aquapad is a 100% cellulose watercolour paper with a medium-fine grain and natural white tone, meeting the needs of beginners and students. Its unique surface and double sizing make it resistant to wet techniques while remaining easy to use and highly versatile. Available in glued pads, spiral pads and sheets — natural white, extra white and black; satin, semi-satin, fine, rough and cloudy grains.
Fontaine
Made in the pure tradition of Dutch fine-art papers, Fontaine is a 100% cotton watercolour paper combining exacting quality and refinement. Its surface lets artists work colours to achieve exceptional brilliance. Available in several grains, weights and shades of white, it invites exploration of watercolour’s full richness, from the most delicate washes to the boldest textural effects.
Flamboyant
Flamboyant is a natural white watercolour paper made with 50% pure cotton. Its unique raw, embossed surface lets watercolour artists create spectacular effects. Its striking texture works beautifully wet-on-wet and is dedicated to abstract work. It also suits mixed techniques for greater creativity. Please note that masking fluid is not recommended.
Bamboo
Made from 100% bamboo fibres, this warm white watercolour paper has a light, soft grain. Its unique texture produces even washes and diffuse, luminous colour. Its plant-based double sizing provides excellent wet strength and invites artists to combine techniques.
Cardinal
Cardinal is a natural white watercolour paper with a different grain on each side of the sheet: fine grain on the front and rough grain on the back. It is ideal for beginners who want to start watercolour and are unsure which paper to choose.
Etival
Etival is a study-quality, 100% cellulose watercolour paper, acid-free and pH neutral. Available in fine, rough and classic grain, its subtle surface makes techniques easier to master, and a black double-grain version opens up new possibilities. Offered in blocks, spiral albums, packs and rolls, it is ideal for beginners and occasional painters.
Goldline
Made from a blend of pure cotton and cellulose, Studio Pad is a highly versatile natural white watercolour paper. Its light grain works beautifully with wet techniques and also suits drawing and ink. Offering excellent value for money, it is designed for students and professionals alike.
Aqua Essentials
The Aqua Essentials pad is the complete discovery set for watercolour. This assortment of 12 watercolour paper qualities, selected for their composition, weight, whiteness or texture, reveals the diversity of our papers. Its 12-sheet selection is ideal for beginners looking for a complete, varied product with which to start watercolour, as well as experienced artists wishing to discover a wide range of surfaces.
Prédessinés
Designed for beginner or intermediate levels, these pre-drawn pads invite users to discover watercolour. The first pages feature drawings on different themes, while the final pages of each pad are blank to make room for creativity. They are intended for anyone who wants to try this technique without yet feeling ready to tackle the sketching stage.
Studio Pad
Made from a blend of pure cotton and cellulose, Studio Pad is a highly versatile natural white watercolour paper. Its light grain works beautifully with wet techniques and also suits drawing and ink. Offering excellent value for money, it is designed for students and professionals alike.
Cartons entoilés
These ready-to-paint canvas boards are made from 75% cotton and 25% polyester. Their transparent universal coating makes them perfectly suited to oil and acrylic painting. More rigid than a sheet of paper yet less bulky than a stretched canvas, they provide an ideal support. Their acid-free construction preserves colours.
Toiles prêtes à peindre
This painting canvas has an even medium grain and a high-quality universal coating for better adhesion without absorbing too much paint. Flexible and responsive, it stretches and relaxes easily with humidity. White canvas is available at 345gsm or 200gsm with a double coating for greater finesse, as well as a natural sand-coloured 210gsm version. Perfectly suited to oil and acrylic painting, rolls provide complete freedom over the required dimensions.
