Quarry Cotton Watercolor Paper
$74 × 1
The details
Cotton rag is the single upgrade that improves a painting most. Quarry is mould-made from 100% cotton with gelatine sizing throughout, so colour sits on the surface and lifts cleanly.
The cold-press tooth is moderate — enough texture to break a dry-brush stroke, smooth enough for fine botanical detail.
Supplied as a block glued on four edges, which keeps the sheet flat through a heavy wash without stretching.
What’s included
- 20-sheet block, glued four edges
- 300gsm, 100% cotton
- Cold press surface
- Deckle release knife
Care & keeping
Release finished sheets by sliding the knife into the small unglued gap. Store the block flat. Cotton paper is archival — kept from direct sun, work on it will outlive you.
What artists say
Worth every penny
I hesitated at the price and then used it every day for six months. The balance is what surprised me — my hand stopped aching after long sessions.

Excellent, with one caveat
Beautiful quality throughout. The case is slightly larger than I expected, so check the measurements if you are tight for desk space.

Bought a second as a gift
Packaging alone made it feel like a considered present. My sister has since bought one for her studio.
