The Fabriano mill in Italy is one of the world's oldest, and this new line of student-grade pads pays tribute to that legendary history with the name Fabriano 1264. For an enterprise with roots in the 13th century, Fabriano is still at the forefront of art paper innovation, and this includes both their high-end lines and their extremely affordable student-grade options.

Fabriano 1264 watercolor paper offers a great balance between value and quality. It's still made in Italy, in the same facilities as their artist-grade options, and it performs very well when wet. The attractive cold press texture allows for the full range of watercolor effects, especially the filtered light and varied surfaces of natural subjects. Made from FSC-certified wood pulp using hydropower, 1264 watercolor pads are also a more sustainable option.

Suitable for watercolor, gouache, pen and ink, pencil, and colored pencil. Try mixing your media with this durable paper; the sized surface responds well to pen points and sharp pencils alike.

Available in glue-bound pads and wire-bound books. All versions have 30 sheets of 300 gsm (140#) acid-free watercolor paper. Made in Italy.
