Description

These Fabriano Artistico Watercolor Blocks are gluebound on all four sides and available in cold-press, hot-press and rough grain surfaces. Fabriano Artistico is ideal for watercolor, tempera, gouache, acrylic, ink, charcoal, graphite and drawing; it is also suitable for printmaking. The paper is sized both internally and externally, making it both absorbent and resilient. The paper is mould-made, produced with 100% cotton, chlorine and acid-free, with vegan animal-free surface sizing.

Very disappointing

Even though it is on a block, the paper did not dry flat. Dried like a cheap student grade curly paper.

Fabriano Artistico Extra White Watercolour Paper Blocks

I purchased the hot press version (10”x14”) and (9”x12”). I use it for ink and watercolour. It takes a bit of getting used to the smooth surface when using watercolour, but I love the transparent layers I can achieve and it’s lovely to draw on with fine ink pens, or Tombow water soluble felt pens. It would likely work well for artists who prefer hotpress paper for gouache painting.

Fabriano Artistico 100% Cotton Watercolour Blocks

Purchased a 10”x14” Fabriano watercolour block (and most recently, the same, but 9”x 12” size). For ink work with watercolor washes I absolutely love it. It takes a bit of getting used to as it’s definitely different from using traditional 140lb CP paper (I’ve used several different artist quality brands). The paint moves on the paper differently. I use it mostly for urban sketching using ink, watercolour washes layered and blended on the palette, along with ink and Tombow dual tip water soluble pens. I totally recommend it.

Love it!

Fabriano extra white aren’t really white at all.

I was disappointed in the papers. Sold as extra white and the paper was still off-white like other papers. I didn’t find them to be as described at all. Lesson learned about online shopping on this one.
