Canson Montval® Watercolor Pads – Artist Series offer professional-grade, cold press watercolor paper designed for superior performance with all wet media. This mold-made French paper is highly durable and withstands scraping, erasing, and repeated washes—ideal for artists who need a resilient surface for techniques like lifting, layering, or glazing.
Canson Montval® is acid-free, archival, and cold press textured, making it a top choice for watercolor, gouache, and mixed media work. It is equally well-suited for studio use or field work, with Artist Series pads featuring a sleek black cover, high-end presentation, and innovative binding options.
For on-the-go artists, Plein Air pads contain 10 rigid art boards laminated with Montval watercolor paper. These are glued on one side and include a fold-over cover for added protection and ease during outdoor painting sessions.
