300gsm Fabriano watercolour paper in postcard format: proper painting paper for small studies, gifts, and artwork you can actually send.
Postcard pads are one of the most useful formats for any watercolourist — small enough to paint quickly, large enough to say something meaningful. This pad uses genuine 300gsm Fabriano watercolour paper rather than the lightweight card of novelty postcard products, which means the paper handles washes, lifting, and wet techniques exactly as you'd expect from a quality watercolour surface.
Each sheet has a blank side for your painting and an address side for posting — making it a genuinely usable postcard as well as a painting surface. Ideal for daily practice studies, small gifts, artist exchanges, and plein air warmups.
FAQ
Can these postcards actually be posted? Yes — each card has a standard address/stamp side and a blank painting side. Once your painting is dry, you can post it as a regular postcard (Royal Mail large letter format depending on thickness).
Is 300gsm heavy enough for wet watercolour techniques? Yes — 300gsm handles all standard watercolour techniques including wet-on-wet without buckling significantly, especially at postcard size where there's less paper to move.
