'PORTOFINO' WATERCOLOR PAPER - 100% COTTON - 300 gsm and 640 gsm - Hot Press - Magnani 1404 - a smooth, almost satin-like, premium watercolor paper produced using traditional methods on cylindrical drum machines. This is one of the watercolor papers with the longest history of production, enjoying an impeccable reputation among watercolorists. It is a 100% cotton, acid-free paper, made from the purest cotton fibers. It is double-sized internally and externally using a synthetic gelatin substitute, without the use of animal-derived substances. Its acid-free nature guarantees resistance to aging. Thanks to its strong sizing and the use of cotton in its natural form, it withstands corrections and the removal of paint from its surface exceptionally well, while also being able to absorb large amounts of water without warping. Recommended for painting with watercolors, tempera, gouache, ink, or acrylics. Recommended for printmaking techniques such as lithography or linocut, as it can be soaked, and its smooth surface ensures high-quality prints.
