Saunders Waterford High White Watercolour Paper
High White is a new addition to the Saunders range with a new whiter shade which is much brighter.
St Cuthberts Mill made the new ‘High White’ after requests from professional artists who were searching for a whiter shade of watercolour paper, but without compromising on quality that only a professional grade watercolour paper like Saunders Waterford can offer. The base colour of the paper shows through the transparent washes of watercolour, and the original ‘White’ shade of Saunders Waterford could affect the paints.
With the new ‘High White’ shade the paints pigments will appear more vivid, and with more sparkle, giving the whole painting a fresher look. A whiter sheet will make finished paintings more contemporary looking, as artists have commented that they felt the original white colour created a more antique look to their finished compositions. Available in an identical range as the original 'white' Saunders Waterford paper.
Available in 140lb, 200lb and 300lb in the following surfaces HP, NOT and Rough.
The packs of paper listed below are supplied in the following options as regards size:
The Full Imperial Packs contain 5 sheets which are 30" x 22" (76cm x 56cm)
In the 1/2 Imperial pack, you'll get 10 sheets at the size 22" x 15"
In the 1/4 Imperial pack, you'll get 20 sheets at the size 15" x 11".

Worth every penny
by Christopher Bendall (Pinner London) on 24 Jul 2011"The 300lb Rough paper is a durable and reliably consistent quality product. I have found the heavy weight papers surface superior to the 140lb rough, so is my paper of choice. The washes "sit" for a little longer with this paper and granulation effects (should you want them) are greatly enhanced with it. The paper is not too bright (as I found with the old Whatman papers) but certainly give that brighter/slightly crisper feeling to a watercolour (again if thats what you want). The traditional SW paper although slightly creamy is in my opinion of the same quality and is as desirable as a product as the high white. However if your style is looser and you like to work at say half imperial size (as I do) this paper is worth every penny Ladies and Gentlemen!
