The B&Q A3 Top Glued Open Watercolour Pad (DW1083) is designed for artists of all levels, from beginners experimenting with washes to experienced painters creating detailed compositions. Its 190GSM weight provides a stable surface for water-based media, though artists working with extremely heavy water saturation may notice minor buckling compared to heavier archival-grade papers.

The paper is designed to maintain the vibrancy of watercolours; for specific archival requirements, please store finished work in a protective sleeve.
This pad is engineered specifically for watercolour. Acrylics may require a thicker substrate to prevent warping.
The paper weight is 190GSM, which is ideal for standard watercolour techniques and sketching.
No, the sheets are top-glued for easy removal with a knife or by carefully peeling them from the adhesive binding.
While the surface is treated for watercolours, it is intended for use on the front side to ensure consistent texture and performance.
Apply less water to your brush or use masking tape to secure all four edges of the paper to your drawing board before starting.
Ensure you are using a thin, blunt instrument to separate the glue edge and pull the sheet slowly at a shallow angle.
For the best results, place the pad on a flat, waterproof surface before you begin. To remove a sheet, simply insert a palette knife or thin blade into the gap at the top of the glue line and gently run it across the edge. Store the pad in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight to prevent yellowing of the pages over time. While the pad is compatible with all standard watercolours, ensure you allow the painting to dry completely on the pad or a flat surface before removing the sheet to avoid tearing the paper fibers.
