The Daler-Rowney Langton Prestige Watercolour Pad (Rough, 14 x 10, 300gsm, 12 Sheets) is designed for professional artists and advanced students seeking a high-quality surface for watercolour painting. Its key benefit is the exceptional handling of water and pigments due to its 100% cotton construction and gelatine surface sizing, ensuring vibrant results and longevity. A potential caveat for some users might be the rough texture, which is ideal for certain techniques but may require adaptation for others.

Rough paper has a pronounced texture, ideal for expressive marks and granulation. Cold Pressed paper has a medium texture, suitable for a wide range of techniques. Hot Pressed paper has a smooth surface, best for fine detail and dry brush work.
While ideal for professionals, its quality and forgiveness with washes can also benefit advanced students. Beginners might find the rough texture a bit challenging initially but it offers great learning potential.
Yes, this paper is excellent for gouache, inks, and light acrylic washes. It also performs well with coloured pencils and pastels.
This particular pad contains 12 sheets of paper.
Acid-free paper prevents yellowing and degradation over time. An alkali reserve acts as a buffer against environmental acids, further extending the archival life of your artwork.
The rough texture is not ideal for very fine, crisp lines. If you require extreme detail, a Hot Pressed paper would be a more suitable choice. However, it can still hold detail in glazes and careful applications.
Store unused pads in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to maintain the paper's condition and prevent any discolouration.
Ensure the paper is securely taped to a rigid board on all four sides before applying water or paint. Allow layers to dry thoroughly before applying the next.
Ensure you are using sufficient pigment and water for your desired effect. The rough texture can absorb paint; consider using a slightly more concentrated mix or applying a second layer once the first is dry.
While the paper allows for lifting, excessive drying can make it harder. Try lifting while the paint is still damp or slightly tacky. For stubborn areas, use a clean, damp brush with minimal water.
This can occur with over-working or excessive scrubbing. Be mindful of the pressure applied and the number of washes. The gelatine sizing provides resilience, but aggressive scrubbing can still damage the surface.
This watercolour pad requires no specific setup; it is ready to use straight out of the packaging. The paper is compatible with all watercolour paints, gouache, inks, and acrylics. It can also be used with light washes of oil pastels or coloured pencils. To care for your artwork created on this paper, store finished pieces away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity to preserve the colours and paper integrity. While the paper is durable, avoid excessive abrasion or handling of the painted surface. Keep unused pads in a dry environment. For best results, it is recommended to tape down the paper edges to a board, especially when using large amounts of water, to further minimize any potential for buckling.
