A Sustainable, High-Quality Watercolor Paper for Students and Artists

SoHo Watercolor Paper offers a reliable and affordable surface for watercolorists, illustrators, and mixed media artists alike. Made with a 25% cotton and 75% lignin-free cellulose blend, this 140 lb. cold press paper provides a perfect balance of strength, absorbency, and texture. Internally and externally sized, it handles water and pigment beautifully, allowing for smooth washes and layered techniques without over-absorption.

Machine-made for consistency, each sheet features a balanced cold press texture that softens evenly when wet—ideal for watercolor, gouache, and more. With responsibly sourced cellulose from FSC-certified forests and an environmentally conscious bleaching process using chlorine dioxide (not elemental chlorine gas), SoHo Watercolor Paper supports both artistic expression and sustainable practices.
