The Hahnemühle Watercolour Book made of 100 per cent cotton fibres is a must-have for watercolour artists. The pure cotton fibres give the paper a natural white tone, an incomparable texture and high resistance. Colours flow superbly on the natural white paper, while brushes slide gently over the surface and inspire the artist.

It’s suitable for all watercolour techniques, especially the wet on-wet technique. Masking pens and masking tapes can be removed without leaving any residue. Even the use of an eraser is possible thanks to surface sizing. The pitch-black, sturdy cover with a black bookmark gives the book the elegance and stability that it needs as an indispensable companion. A rubber band closes the book tightly. These books are available in landscape and portrait format in A6, A5, A4, 14 x 14 cm and 19.5 x 19.5 cm. Like all Hahnemühle papers, they’re age-resistant, acid-free and vegan. +44 (0)1603 759 266 Artwork by @rabi__rabi hello@hahnemuehle.com www.hahnemuehle.co.uk 44
