Watercolor Paper & Boards

Make your designs come to life when you paint them on watercolor paper! With a variety of weight and texture options, Hobby Lobby has everything you need all in one place. We have three different types of paper that will add a unique flavor to your project. Hot press is the smoothest paper and allows you to create tiny details. Cold press has a medium-textured surface that is compatible with many techniques. Rough has the most texture and will give your doodles a coarse look. Use single sheets for individual designs or collect them inside one of our paper pads. Before using your paper, it is important to stretch it out. Soak it in water to expand the paper’s fibers. This allows the paint that will go on top to not cockle. Once that process is complete, use gum tape or art tape to hold it down. Along with paper, you will need other painting supplies to complete your project! Gather a watercolor paint set to fill the page with vibrant color. Grab some paintbrushes and a water cup to have on hand when changing colors. Now you can create whatever your heart desires! Make beautiful gift tags to place on top of birthday gifts. Decorate a postcard to send to your far-away family. Paint a lovely landscape on a blank canvas to hang proudly on your bedroom wall. Or, complement your card making skills by filling the card with vibrant watercolor drawings. No matter what you decide to create, Hobby Lobby is here to help you show off your artistic side with our watercolor books and papers!
