This Fabriano Studio Hot-Press Watercolour Pad is aimed at students, art-class instructors, illustrators and hobbyists who want a reliable, smooth-surfaced watercolour paper without the cost of 100% cotton. If you need crisp detail, controlled washes, and a versatile sheet for mixed media trials, this pad gives a near-rag feel at student-friendly pricing. Choose it for classroom exercises, practice pieces, greeting cards, studies for larger works, or any situation where consistency and a smooth finish matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMachine-made cottolpha cellulose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHot-press smooth surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e140 lb (300 gsm), 11\" x 14\" format\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePad contains 12 sheets, acid-free\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInternally and externally sized for absorbency control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Is Fabriano Studio hot-press paper archival?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes — the paper is acid-free and machine-made, offering good archival stability for studies and finished pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can I use heavy acrylics on this 140 lb sheet?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: It supports light to moderate acrylic layers, but heavy impasto may cause buckling; consider heavier or stretched paper for thick applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Fabriano","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55254320218449,"sku":"B009YVLOFQ","price":30.91,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1086\/5567\/3681\/files\/fabriano-hot-press-pad-front.jpg?v=1791673354"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1086\/5567\/3681\/collections\/taobary-front-pack-11x15.jpg?v=1792143502","url":"https:\/\/craftiche.co.uk\/collections\/watercolour-paper.oembed?page=11","provider":"Craftiche","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
