Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper Blocks by Global Arts

These watercolor blocks contain sheets of premium, archival 100% cotton watercolor paper glued on two edges.

As you paint directly on the top sheet in the block, the glue along the two long edges will hold the sheet flat. When your painting is dry, just slide a dull knife or letter opener in the open side under the top sheet. Release the glue along one edge and pull your painting free.

Yupo Sheets & Pads

This white synthetic paper made of 100% polypropylene offers a unique alternative to traditional art papers.

Pigments applied to the bright white sheets retain their true clarity and brilliance. Waterproof and stain-resistant, it is exceptionally strong, durable and will not buckle or tear. It is acid-free, archival and has a smooth, bright white surface. Originally used for offset printing, it also accommodates silkscreen, embossing, pen and ink, drawing, acrylic painting and aqueous techniques. Yupo is machine-made in the USA and recyclable. As a watercolor paper, it has the advantage of being non-absorbent so colors lie on top of its surface producing brilliant, vibrant effects. Colors retain their true clarity and brilliance. Yupo requires no soaking, stretching, or taping flat. Best of all, it allows you to wipe off unwanted sections of your painting and start again with a fresh surface.

Rives BFK Sheets

A smooth surface and light sizing makes this paper a favorite with artists and printmakers working in practically every

technique. Mold-made, 100% cotton, acid-free and buffered, the sheets have four deckled edges and a registered watermark. Excellent for all hand-printing processes, lithography, intaglio etching, wood engraving, silkscreen, linocut and collotype. They may also be used for embossing and drawing, though they are not recommended for offset printing.

Stonehenge rivals European mould made papers with its ability to produce excellent results in a variety of printmaking

techniques. In addition to intaglio and silkscreening, Stonehenge works well with colored pencil, charcoal, pastels and watercolors. Machine made in the USA of 100% cotton, neutral pH, two natural deckles and two cut edges. Papers measure: 22" x 30"
