Art Spectrum® 25% Cotton BLACK Watercolour 300gsm Pad

The Art Spectrum® 25% Cotton Black Watercolour Pad is a striking alternative to traditional white papers, designed for artists who want to explore dramatic contrast, luminous colour effects, and bold compositions. Made with 25% cotton and a heavyweight 300gsm construction, this premium black paper offers excellent strength, stability, and surface performance for a wide range of wet and dry media.

Its deep black tone enhances the brilliance of opaque and semi‑opaque colours, making it ideal for gouache, metallics, pearlescents, acrylic inks, gel pens, and pastel accents. The durable surface allows for controlled washes, layering, and lifting techniques while maintaining crisp edges and rich saturation.

Perfect for expressive illustration, modern watercolour techniques, mixed media, and experimental work, this pad opens up new creative possibilities for artists seeking a unique visual impact.
