Why Canson XL Watercolor Paper is My Favorite for Watercolor Lettering

Canson XL Watercolor paper is a fantastic choice for watercolor and brush lettering projects that need to withstand a lot of water and blending. Here’s what makes it my top pick:

• Heavyweight – With its 140 lb / 300 gsm weight, it is sturdy paper that will not warp or buckle too easily.

• High Quality – Canson XL Watercolor’s high quality, cold-pressed texture gives a nice, natural feel while maintaining the durability needed for repeated washes. It also holds up to multiple layers of colors, making it perfect for techniques like blending and water brush lettering.

• Ideal for Watercolor Backgrounds and Galaxy Lettering – The paper is great for creating rich watercolor backgrounds and galaxy-style lettering, thanks to its ability to blend and mix colors beautifully.

• Textured Surface – While the texture is perfect for water-based techniques, it’s not suited for traditional brush pens as they may fray against its surface.

• Oversized Option – With different size options, you can choose the right size for your project, including oversized sheets for larger work.

If you’re diving into watercolor brush lettering or experimenting with galaxy effects, Canson XL Watercolor paper is a great choice.
