SinoArt Watercolor Pad 180gsm

The SinoArt Watercolor Pad 180gsm is an entry-level, budget-friendly surface tailored primarily for light wash techniques, quick watercolor sketches, and mixed media exercises.

Key Specifications

• Paper Weight: 180 gsm — a medium-light weight compared to standard 300gsm watercolor papers.

• Sheet Count: Typically configured as a 24-sheet pad.

• Binding: Available in spiral-bound (wire-o) or glue-bound formats with a firm backboard.

• Paper Composition: Acid-free wood pulp (cellulose) paper to prevent yellowing over time.

• Texture: Fine-grain cold-press or medium tooth surface.

Performance & Usage Guidelines

• Light Wash & Sketching: Best suited for dry-brush techniques, light single washes, line-and-wash illustrations, gouache, and watercolor pencils.

• Water Handling: Because it is 180gsm (rather than heavy 300gsm stock), heavy wet-on-wet painting or pooling large amounts of water will cause the sheet to buckle or warp.

• Dry Media Compatibility: The fine tooth provides grip for graphite, colored pencils, fine-liner ink pens, charcoal, and soft pastels.
