Full details

The Daler-Rowney Langton Prestige Watercolour Pad is an ideal choice for professional artists and advanced students who require a premium, durable surface for professional-grade watercolour work.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this paper suitable for pen and ink?

Yes, the fine-grain surface works well for ink, though it is specifically optimized for watercolour absorption.

Does this paper yellow over time?

No, the paper is acid-free and contains an alkali reserve to prevent discolouration.

Can I use acrylics on this pad?

While it is designed for watercolour, the 300gsm weight can handle light acrylic washes, though it is not formulated for heavy acrylic impasto.

What does 300gsm mean?

It refers to grams per square meter, indicating the thickness and weight of the paper.

Is the paper sized for wet-on-wet techniques?

Yes, the cotton construction is highly absorbent and handles multiple layers of wet-on-wet application with ease.

Troubleshooting

Paper buckles when using heavy water

Ensure the paper is fully secured to a board with artist tape on all four sides before starting your wash.

Paint is not lifting easily

The 100% cotton fibers are more absorbent than cheaper paper; ensure you are using a clean, damp brush or a kneaded eraser specifically for delicate surfaces.

Edges of the paper tearing during removal

Use a thin palette knife to gently slice through the adhesive binding rather than pulling the sheet from the pad.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality 100% cotton fiber ensures archival longevity.
  • Substantial 300gsm weight supports multiple layers of wet-on-wet technique.
  • Cold-pressed finish is versatile enough for both fine detail and expressive techniques.
  • Acid-free construction prevents discolouration.
  • Traditional cylinder mould manufacturing ensures consistent quality.

Cons

  • Higher price point compared to cellulose or mixed-media paper.
  • Not intended for heavy dry-media sketching, as the texture is optimized for water-based paint.
  • Limited to 12 sheets per pad.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare for use, remove the sheet carefully from the glue-bound pad to ensure edges remain intact. While the 300gsm weight is quite resistant to buckling, painters using heavy flooding techniques may still prefer to tape the edges down with artist-grade masking tape. For best results, use synthetic or sable watercolour brushes, as the fine-grain surface is gentle on brush tips. Store the pad in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the alkali reserve. When finished, keep the pad stored horizontally under a flat weight if you are not using a portfolio case to prevent sheet curling.
