Hahnemuhle Sugar Cane Watercolour Block - 3.15 x 4.13

The 290gsm paper is made from 70% fast-growing sugar cane fibres, so-called bagasse, a by-product of sugar extraction. With 70% sugar cane and 30% cotton, the natural white, warm-toned watercolor paper combines the strength of sugar cane fibres and the softness of cotton.

The paper with its cold pressed surface structure has a wonderful velvety feel. It can be excellently worked with watercolor, gouache and all wet-on-wet techniques. Colors shine brilliantly and velvety. The natural fibres of the sugar cane give the paper a high stability and tear resistance, so that the paper can absorb large amounts of water and colours without the fibres standing up or the paper curling badly. Colors can be easily dissolved on the surface and glazed again. The paper masters color gradients and effects, such as salt or water drops, but also thin lines and accents with fineliners.
