About the product

Opus Essential Artists' Watercolour Block - 11"x14"

Discover a dependable watercolour surface designed to support your creative practice from first sketch to finished painting. Opus Essential Artists’ Watercolour Paper is a professional-quality European paper made from 100% alpha cellulose, offering strength, durability, and consistent performance.

The cold pressed texture provides the ideal balance between expressive washes and precise detail, allowing pigments to flow beautifully while still supporting controlled brushwork. Internally and externally sized with synthetic sizing, the paper handles generous water, layering, lifting, and reworking with confidence.

Whether you're developing studies, painting finished works, or exploring new techniques, this versatile surface delivers reliable results at a value that invites experimentation.

Designed for larger compositions and expressive painting techniques, the 11" × 14" Opus Essential Artists’ Watercolour Block offers a generous surface that remains flat while you work.

The durable 300 gsm paper handles wet washes, glazing, lifting, and reworking with ease, while the cold pressed texture provides a responsive surface for both loose and controlled approaches.

I love these blocks for the price

I love these blocks for the price. I sell very few paintings so happy to use less expensive paper. The one thing I have found is that my paint can easily wipe off, even after a week. This is handy if you dislike what you painted which is how I discovered this. A week after painting I disliked something so was going to try to lift a bit & discovered I could wipe the whole piece off. A residue of color was left which I can use but it causes wonder if I should use this for any serious work.
