Manufactured from 100% cotton, completely acid free with no optical brighteners. Available in a range of surfaces to suit every watercolourists need.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.

The spiral binding allows pages to lie completely flat and makes it easy to flip, work, and remove sheets cleanly — perfect for studio use, outdoor painting, and art classes.
