Britannia is a reasonably priced, high-quality watercolour paper. It is available in many different versions (Cold-pressed, Hot-pressed, Rough) and is acid-free, natural white, ageing-resistant and 300 grams².

Britannia excels in price and quality attitude.

Britannia paper is made with a special watercolour paper machine. This allows consistent high quality to be delivered at a favourable price.

Britannia comes in three varieties: Hot-pressed, Cold-pressed, Rough. This block concerns the cold-pressed variant

• Hot-Pressed: Has the smoothest surface. This makes it ideal for very detailed work (such as botanical painting). It absorbs slightly less water than the other variants.
• Cold-pressed: Has a light structure, making it suitable for almost all applications. One can work in detail on this as well as reasonably wet, but the work will also keep its 'watercolour structure'.
• Rough: Has the most structure on the surface. This will emphasize the texture properties of watercolour, such as granulation. This paper also absorbs the most water.
