I'm testing new papers at the moment, it's always a great experience and time for doing little pieces without any pressure on the shoulders to create masterpieces. Yes, it's definitely fun doing this. Canson Héritage is a strong and absorbent 100% cotton paper designed for use with watercolour paints. It is available in two weights, a standard 300gsm and a heavyweight 640gsm. Both weights of Canson Héritage are also suitable for use with coloured or watercolour pencils.

What really sets this robust watercolour paper apart is the sizing, which allows artists to lift paint and to scrub at the paper without deterioration to the surface. It is possible to layer paints, returning to the same image and re-wetting the surface. The ability to make corrections while the paint is wet or after it has dried makes Héritage a very forgiving paper to paint on. This sizing also gives great image clarity, as it does not allow marks to bleed. Sharp edges are retained after the paint has dried.

  3. Beautiful painting! Thanks for the paper tip! I usually use a hot press Fabriano so the paint doesn't immediately absorb. This one sounds interesting for ink as well.
