Canson Moulin du Roy watercolour paper is made on a traditional cylinder mould machine. Moulin du Roy is 100% cotton, has ideal absorbency and superior strength.
This surface retains the look and feel of handmade paper. It is both internally and surface sized to aid the lifting of dried colour. It gives artists more opportunity to rework their watercolour paintings and the pigment also appears brighter.
Canson Moulin du Roy has a natural white colour, is acid free and is made without bleaching agents. This results in a paper with optimal conservation and archival qualities over time. It complies with ISO Standard 9706 and is treated with a mould resistant treatment.
This paper is available in 300gsm (140lb) and in a NOT (Cold Pressed) or HP (Hot Pressed) surface. Each sheet has four straight edges - they are not deckled.
Canson 'Moulin Du Roy' paper is sized with AKD (Alkyl ketene dimer), a vegan alternative to gelatine sizing.
Canson Moulin Du Roy Watercolour Paper Pads also available.
