100% Cotton Artist-Grade Watercolor Paper – 40 Loose Sheets – Thick 140 lb / 300 gsm Type-L paper with internal & external sizing for excellent durability and water control. Acid-free with no optical brighteners and designed for long-term archival quality. Natural organic texture supports washes, layering, and professional results in studio and plein air painting.
Hot Pressed, Cold Pressed & Rough Textures Available – Internally and externally sized Type-L cotton paper supports all watercolor techniques including masking, lifting, layering, scraping, and wet-on-wet painting. Thick 140 lb / 300 gsm sheets handle generous water use while maintaining stability and consistent surface performance.
Same Paper in Loose Sheets & Sketchbooks – Type-L Hot Pressed and Cold Pressed watercolor paper is available both as loose sheets and Pleinly sketchbooks, providing a consistent painting experience in studio and plein-air use. Both formats integrate with the Pleinly Wet Panel Carrier and Watercolor Easel for easy transport and setup. The classic 3:4 aspect ratio works naturally for landscapes, portraits, figure studies, and outdoor scenes.
Varnished Backing Board Support – 14×10” loose sheets fit the Pleinly 16×12” backing board, leaving space around the edges for taping and clean handling while painting. The varnished surface provides stable support and helps keep your working format consistent for studio and plein-air use. Backing board available as part of Pleinly easel and wet panel carrier sets (sold separately).
Clips to Easel & Fits Carrier for Wet Transport – The 16×12” backing board matches the Pleinly watercolor easel size, allowing loose sheets to be clipped securely for comfortable painting. After painting, the same board fits inside the Pleinly Wet Panel Carrier frame so wet artwork can be transported safely without changing setup.
Reusable Storage Box for Flat Organization – Loose sheets are delivered in a durable storage box that keeps paper flat, protected, and organized between painting sessions. The rigid structure and secure closing tabs make it easy to store and transport papers or finished artworks while keeping edges and surfaces protected.
The Pleinly Watercolor Painting System – Paper, backing boards, carrier, and easel share the same working format, allowing artists to use the same familiar setup at home or outdoors. This consistent workflow helps maintain comfort, organization, and ergonomics when moving between studio and plein-air painting.
