St Cuthbert's Saunders Waterford Watercolor Paper Blocks are renowned by watercolorists worldwide for their beauty, strength, and enduring archival quality. Crafted at the historic St Cuthberts Mill in Somerset, England, these 100% cotton papers embody 250 years of papermaking excellence, endorsed by the Royal Watercolour Society.

Each sheet is made on a traditional cylinder mould lined with natural wool felts for lightly irregular, organic texture that grips pigment beautifully. Internal and external gelatin sizing enhances durability, allowing artists to scrub, layer, and lift without damaging the surface. Blocks are glued on all four sides to keep the sheet perfectly taut as you paint.

Available in three weights and Rough, Cold Press, and Hot Press surfaces, St Cuthbert's Saunders Waterford paper comes in two distinct tones: warm, classic Natural White and High White for modern brightness and superior color clarity. Both are free of optical brighteners and buffered with calcium carbonate for long-term protection against discoloration.
