## Summary description

CANSON Montval watercolor block in DIN A3 size with 300 g/m² cellulose paper and satin (satinée) surface. The pad contains 12 sheets glued at the short edge to keep pages flat while painting. Suited for washes, mixed media and layered watercolor techniques; convenient for studio and plein air use where taped or re-stretching is undesirable.

## Long description

CANSON Montval watercolor block A3 300 g/m² with a satin (satinée) surface is a short-side glued pad designed for watercolour washes, mixed media and layered techniques. The block contains 12 sheets of cellulose paper that remain flat while you paint because the short-edge glue keeps the sheet edges secured. The satin surface offers moderate tooth suitable for smooth washes and controlled detail, while the 300 g/m² weight provides enough stiffness to minimise cockling without the need for stretching.
Advantages
The glued short edge keeps paper taut and stable during painting, allowing you to work wet-on-wet or wet-on-dry without repeatedly re-taping or re-stretching. The 300 g/m² cellulose sheet balances absorbency and durability, accepting multiple layers of watercolor and mixed media. The satin surface provides a subtle texture that helps with pigment adherence and blending while maintaining smooth washes and clear details. The A3 format gives a generous working area for studies, finished pieces or sketches on location.
Suitable for
 Watercolor washes and glazing techniques
 Mixed media work combining watercolor, gouache or ink
 Plein air painting and studio sketches where portability is needed
 Layered techniques that require moderate reworking
When it may not be suitable
This watercolor block uses cellulose (not 100% cotton) paper, so it may be less tolerant of extreme lifting or heavy reworking compared with professional cotton rag papers. Very heavy washes or extensive abrasion may still cause some buckling or surface wear despite the 300 g/m² weight and glued edge.
Key specifications
 Sheet size: DIN A3
 Paper weight: 300 g/m²
 Surface: satin (satinée)
 Composition: cellulose paper
 Binding: short-side glued block
 Number of sheets: 12
How to use
Work directly on the top sheet while it remains glued to the block for a flat working surface. Apply washes, layers and details as required; allow drying time between layers for glazing. To remove a finished sheet, insert a palette knife or a thin spatula under the glued edge and gently lift to separate the sheet along the glued spine. Press the removed sheet flat under a weight if minor warping occurs. For best results with very wet techniques, control water load and blot excess moisture with a clean cloth or sponge.
What to consider before purchase
 If you require archival-quality cotton paper, choose a rag-based watercolor paper instead of cellulose.
 Consider whether the satin surface texture suits your preferred brushwork and detail level.
 Decide if 12 sheets and the A3 format match the scale and output you plan to produce.
Usage recommendations
For balanced results, use moderate water loads and allow each layer to dry before glazing. For plein air convenience, keep the block secured in an easel or board and remove sheets carefully after full drying to avoid edge tears.
