A Canvas-Like Presentation with the Feel of Watercolor Paper

SoHo Select Stretched 100% Cotton Watercolor Paper offers a fresh and innovative surface for watercolor artists who want to present their work without traditional matting and framing. This 140 lb. (300 gsm) hot press watercolor paper is stapled to a sturdy 5/8" wooden stretcher frame—just like canvas—giving your paper-based art a professional, gallery-ready look.

Internally and externally sized, the paper resists over-absorption, allowing colors to remain vibrant and crisp. The surface responds beautifully to water, softening while wet and tightening back as it dries on the frame. Ideal for watercolor, acrylic, mixed media, and dry techniques, this surface offers artists a versatile and ready-to-hang option straight from the studio.
