Cold Press paper has a lightly textured surface that works beautifully with watercolour and mixed media. It gives pigment something to grip onto, making it ideal for washes, layering, texture-building, and expressive marks. Why 100% cotton? Cotton paper is the best surface for watercolour and is also great for mixed media. 100% cotton paper is capable of taking multiple heavy washes, stands up well to damaging techniques like dry brushing, and helps keep the pigment looking vibrant over the passage of time. The surface provides the perfect level of brush resistance while allowing the pigment to flow beautifully across the page. Those that "upgrade" to 100% cotton paper often credit it as having had a greater impact on their art than the quality of paint that they use. Why is acid-free paper important? The best paper is acid-free and has a high amount of cotton. Using acid-free paper helps to prevent the "yellowing" that can happen in paper over the years, meaning your art will stand the test of time. Can you paint on both sides of the paper? Yes you can. The sketchbook has 44 pages (or 22 sheets) and each page can be painted on thanks to the quality of the paper. WHAT'S IN THE WORKSHOP? Kate’s exclusive online workshop walks you through the inspiration behind the Moroccan Magic set and how to bring its colours, patterns, and materials together on the page. You’ll learn how to gather inspiration, mix colours, build compositions, use the washi tapes as part of your artwork, and create layered abstract pieces in your sketchbook.
