Description
The Baohong Academy A3 Cold Press Watercolor Pad gives serious artists a large, professional-grade painting surface for ambitious compositions. Featuring genuine cotton content and Baohong’s renowned cold press texture, this A3 pad (29.7 x 42 cm) is ideal for full-scale landscape work, figure studies, exhibition-size paintings, and large watercolor commissions.
Baohong Academy pads have become a benchmark in Asian watercolor communities for their consistent surface quality, ability to handle wet-on-wet techniques, and durability under heavy wash applications. The cold press surface has enough texture to add natural character to granulating pigments while remaining smooth enough for detailed linework.
At A3 size, you gain the freedom to work at scale – creating panoramic paintings of Sri Lanka’s landscapes, large portrait studies, and mixed technique pieces that demand more room. Each pad contains 20 sheets of 300gsm paper, giving you substantial painting space at a professional level.

Ruwan Jayawardena –
Finally found Baohong in Sri Lanka! This paper is amazing. Comparable to Arches in my opinion but at a better price. The A3 size gives plenty of room to work with. Cold press texture is just right for most techniques.
Chaminda Rathnayake –
I checked everywhere in Colombo before finding this. Daraz has it but much more expensive. This is the best price for Baohong in Sri Lanka by far. Paper quality is exactly what you’d expect from 100% cotton — smooth washes, clean lifting, and zero buckling. Ordered twice already.
Dulani Jayasuriya –
Finally a place to buy Baohong without paying Daraz markup! Paper is beautiful. Cold press texture is perfect for both wet-on-wet and dry brush. I teach watercolor classes and I recommend this to all my students now. 20 sheets per pad is generous too.
Nimali Fernando –
Premium paper. Lifts cleanly, takes washes well, and the sizing is consistent across sheets. Worth every rupee.
Tharushi Wickramasinghe –
I’ve compared this with Arches and honestly for the price difference it’s just as good. The sizing is consistent, colours stay vibrant, and lifting works perfectly. A3 size gives you proper room to paint. Can’t find this price anywhere else in SL.
Prasad Weerasinghe –
Great paper. Only giving 4 because I prefer rough texture personally, but the cold press is still very good.
Harsha De Silva –
Very good paper. Slightly thinner feel than expected but performs really well with heavy washes. Price is excellent compared to what I was paying on Daraz. Will buy again.
