Watercolour Paper

Watercolour & Yupo Paper – 

Ready to level up your painty playtime? Meet your dream duo: Watercolour Paper and Yupo Paper – two totally different but equally fabulous surfaces for all things inky, splashy, and artsy!

Watercolour Paper

This one's a classic – beautifully textured and thirsty for colour! It’s made to handle wet media like watercolours, inks, and even light washes of acrylic. Whether you're doing a soft pastel background or going full-blown rainbow explosion, watercolour paper gives your paint a place to shine. Perfect for creating backgrounds, hand-painted elements, or tearing into yummy layers for your art journal or junk journal. It’s a must-have for any paper-loving painter!

Yupo Paper

Now for something a little magical… Yupo is synthetic, smooth-as-glass, and totally non-absorbent. Yep, your paint just sits there waiting for you to move it around. Think dreamy, flowing alcohol ink effects, vibrant watercolour puddles, and abstract wonders. Because the paint doesn’t soak in, you get brilliant colours and time to play before it dries.

Whether you like that soft, absorbent vibe or want to let your colours dance across a slick surface, these papers are here to inspire your next masterpiece (or delicious background layer – we see you, junk journalers!).
