Hahnemühle The Collection Watercolour Block – 300gsm (140lb)

Engineered to set the global standard for fine art watercolor paper, Hahnemühle’s The Collection Watercolour is made from 100% cotton rag using a traditional mould-made process. Offered in two professional weights—300gsm (140lb) and 640gsm (300lb)—this paper delivers an unparalleled painting experience with exceptional strength and color performance.

Crafted from a carefully selected cotton variety, both Watercolour 300 and Watercolour 640 exhibit incomparable purity and extraordinary surface durability. Each sheet is surface-sized and free of optical brighteners, allowing watercolorists to create vibrant wet-on-wet effects, apply multiple washes, and lift pigment without compromising surface integrity.

Available in three finishes:

• Cold Pressed – softly textured, versatile for washes and fine detail

• Hot Pressed – ultra-smooth, ideal for pen & ink, precise lines, and illustration

• Rough – heavy texture, excellent for expressive, atmospheric work

These papers are acid-free, vegan, and resistant to aging, making them a reliable choice for archival quality artwork.
