Watercolour Paper

Black watercolour paper that enhances your colours with fantastic contrast and depth. Made of high-quality cellulose with a textured surface. Can be used for watercolours, oil pastels, soft pastels, goauche and linoleum block printing.

Can you even see watercolours on black paper? Yes! With the right techniques and colours, it’s easier than you think. Light and metallic shades in particular look fantastic against a dark background. Also try gouache, soft pastels and oil pastels –the result is impressive – and you’ll see that black paper is completely different than white watercolour paper. We recommend always starting with a white base so that the colours stand out more clearly in your work..

If you already have watercolours at home, you can mix in a little white paint to make them appear lighter. It’s also a good idea to use watercolours with pearlescent pigment because they contrast sharply with the black background to create a beautiful effect.
