The Canson Montval Watercolor Block is a premium choice for artists seeking reliable performance and excellent value. This block features 12 sheets of 300 gsm cold-pressed paper, ideal for watercolor, gouache, acrylic, and ink techniques. The paper is acid-free and chlorine-free, ensuring archival quality and longevity. Made in France from alpha-cellulose, it offers excellent lightfastness and a natural white color. The glued binding keeps sheets secure during painting, and the cold-press texture provides a versatile surface for detailed washes and expressive strokes.

Advantages

This watercolor block delivers consistent results with minimal preparation. The 300 gsm weight resists buckling, while the internal and external sizing controls water absorption and prevents bleeding.
