Ohuhu Cotton-Top™ Watercolor Pad can completely shape the painting experience. It influences color vibrancy, water control, and the ease of layering on the page.
Why is it called Cotton-Top™, and how is it different from 100% cotton paper?
Cotton-Top™ is named for its cotton surface layer, where brush, water, and pigment interact most directly. Unlike 100% cotton watercolor paper, which is made entirely from cotton fiber, Ohuhu Cotton-Top™ Watercolor Pad features a layered construction with a cotton surface, absorbent core, and wood pulp support layer, offering balanced performance, everyday versatility, and a more affordable price point.

Differences Between Hot Press and Cold Press
Hot Press watercolor paper has a smoother surface, making it great for fine details, clean lines, and precise brushwork. It is often preferred for illustrations, detailed painting, and techniques that benefit from a more polished finish.

Cold Press watercolor paper has a more textured surface, which helps create richer texture and more natural watercolor effects. It is ideal for washes, layering, and expressive painting styles where you want the paper texture to show through.
