Bright Ideas Start with Colour: Rainbow Watercolour Pads

We’ve added a premium new essential to the Rainbow range. Rainbow Watercolour Pads are available in 200gsm and 300gsm options across both A4 and A3 sizes, designed to support artists at every stage, from beginners to more experienced creatives.

Whether you’re exploring watercolour techniques, working with mixed media, or teaching foundational art skills, these pads provide a reliable surface that performs every time.

Made for Watercolour

Each sheet is crafted from 100% cotton and features a cold-pressed surface, offering the ideal balance of texture and absorbency. This allows for smooth colour application, better control, and beautiful layering without compromising the paper’s integrity.

200gsm or 300gsm. Choose Your Flow

The 200gsm option is perfect for students, beginners, and everyday practice. It handles light to moderate water use while maintaining its surface texture, making it ideal for washes, studies, and classroom work.

For more demanding techniques, the 300gsm paper offers added strength and stability. It resists buckling and warping, allowing for heavier washes, layering, and lifting with confidence.

Durable and Acid-Free

Designed to handle water, reworking, and layering, these pads are acid-free to help preserve artwork over time. The strong paper structure ensures consistent results from the first brushstroke to the final detail.

Flexible Sizes for Every Project

Available in both A4 and A3 sizes, these pads are suitable for everything from smaller studies to larger, more expressive works. Each pad includes 25 sheets, giving you plenty of space to create, experiment, and refine your technique.

  • Watercolour painting and techniques
  • Mixed media and layering
  • Classroom and student use
  • Art studios and creative projects
