Smooth, Archival Watercolor Paper Crafted in Italy

Magnani Portofino Watercolor Paper is a premium hot press paper made from 100% cotton and produced by Cartiere Magnani, a historic Italian paper mill known for centuries of fine craftsmanship. The smooth, silky surface is ideal for artists who need clean lines, sharp detail, and subtle tonal transitions in their work.

Made using a traditional cylinder mould machine, Portofino paper ensures consistent quality and a luxurious painting experience. It offers balanced absorption, allowing for controlled washes and layering without excessive buckling or spreading.
