CANSON Coton d'Art is a watercolor pad made from 100% cotton, with a weight of 300 g/m² and a fine-grain cold press surface. The paper is glued on all four sides, keeping it firmly stretched while you work. This makes it an ideal surface for watercolor artists, advanced students, and art studios. The cotton fibers provide high absorbency and give you plenty of time to create smooth color transitions with the wet-on-wet technique.
