Bockingford Pad Watercolour 200gsm A4

Artist-quality watercolour paper from NZ's trusted name. Stable surface, resists buckling.

Why This Exists

Made using the traditional cylinder mould-making process, Bockingford watercolour paper has been trusted by New Zealand artists for decades. The cold-pressed (CP) surface provides superb surface stability and resists buckling when wet — essential for watercolour work.

Each A4 pad includes 20 sheets of 200gsm acid-free, archival-safe paper. Whether you're sketching outdoors, practising techniques, or creating finished works, Bockingford gives you consistent performance without the frustration of warping paper.
