Clairefontaine Natural White Watercolour Pad 300gsm Torchon (Extra Rough)

The Clairefontaine Natural White Watercolour Pad (300gsm Torchon) is a premium, mould‑made pad crafted in France for artists who love expressive texture and dramatic surface effects. The Torchon (extra rough) finish features a unique, rounded grain that creates striking pictorial textures and enhances granulation, flow patterns, and atmospheric washes.

This extra‑rough surface also handles scratching techniques exceptionally well, allowing artists to lift out highlights or create graphic marks without damaging the integrity of the sheet. The natural white tone provides clean, luminous colour reproduction, while the heavyweight 300gsm paper offers excellent absorbency and stability under generous washes.

Each pad contains 12 sheets of archival, acid‑free watercolour paper, glued along one edge for stability during painting and easy removal once your artwork is complete.
