Daler Rowney

Are Daler-Rowney papers and boards environmentally friendly?

Wood pulp used in the production of Daler-Rowney paper and board products, comes from managed forest estates in Europe and North America. These estates harvest and replant trees specifically for paper and board production and annually plant more trees than are felled. No trees from South America Rainforests or endangered hardwood species are used. All our paper and board purchases are produced from either Oxygen or Chlorine Dioxide bleached pulps and as such can be classified as Chlorine free.

Daler Rowney

Daler-Rowney canvases and paper for painting with oils and acrylics are made to the highest specifications. All canvas used for Stretched Canvases, Canvas Panels and sold from the roll is treated with two coats of acrylic primer. Double-priming creates a perfect ready-to-use painting surface for both oils and acrylics that holds the colour on the surface and prevents seepage through to the back. The famous Daler Board with its unique oil-primed surface has been a favourite choice among oil painters for decades. Specialist papers for painting in acrylics include the popular Cryla surface with its uniform woven textured surface and new System 3 paper, which recreates the random weave of linen.

	Stretching Paper for Gouache and Watercolours Stretching paper maintains a flat sheet when using large quantities of water. All weights of paper will benefit from stretching, as once stretched, you are free to use as much water as you wish. Stretching works by soaking the paper to expand the fibres and taping it flat to dry taut. More water will not then be able to cockle the paper. The important tips are: • Soak the paper completely - 90lb for 3 minutes, 140lb for 8 minutes, 300lb for 20 minutes. • Drain the paper of excess water • If using a manmade fibre board, seal it with dilute French polish first. • Use brown gum strip (not masking tape) to tape edges along their complete length. • Keep the board flat to dry.


Bockingford and Langton are two of the more commonly found watercolour pads and usually have 12 sheets in a landscape or portrait format. The most commonly used weight is 300g/m ( 140 lb ), this is thick enough not to cockle under light washes without being too expensive. The paper is colour stable, mould made and acid free. The best watercolour papers are acid free to prevent the deterioration of paint and to preserve the integrity of the paper over time. The paper has a 'NOT' surface (sometimes known as cold pressed) which is in between the roughest and smoothes texture of papers. This makes it a very versatile paper popular for watercolour and linewash work. It can also be used for pastels, inks, designers gouache and acrylics.
