Magnani 1404 Watercolor Papers
Top-quality 100% Cotton Watercolor Paper. Love Your Papers!
Imagine yourself using the same high-quality papers as the great masters of history. Magnani has been producing papers for over 600 years. Its clientele has included famous figures such as Napoleone Bonaparte and artists such as Picasso, De Chirico, Annigoni, and Morandi. Magnani 1404 watercolor paper is perfect for anyone who desires the highest quality paper available.
Magnani 1404 Watercolor Papers are made entirely from 100% cotton. Long cotton fibers are evenly distributed onto a slowly rotating wire cylinder before being pressed onto special Magnani marking felts and dried. The paper has superior absorbency and can withstand multiple layers and washes thanks to its internal and external vegan sizing.
Want your art to withstand the test of time? Magnani's acid-free pH-neutral paper is UV resistant and can last for over a century, making it a wise investment for anyone who values longevity and quality.
Choose from 3 different surface textures made in Italy: Italia (cold press), Portofino (hot press), and Toscana (rough).
Magnani 1404 Watercolor Paper is ideal for wet and dry media, especially watercolor, gouache, ink, and fluid acrylic paint. Prime with a clear acrylic gesso to use with oil paint.
