Arches Watercolour Paper Pad | Cold Pressed Natural White | for Watercolor, Acrylic Painting, Gouache and Poster Color Painting | 300 GSM, 23 x 31 cm- 12 Sheets

Probably the best paper I have had the pleasure of painting on.

Pra aquarela um papel de qualidade faz toda a diferença. Percebi bastante diferença nas transições de cores, mais suaves nesse do que em outros papéis que testei

En mi opinión ARCHES es la mejor marca de papel de algodón que hay.

I have used Arches watercolor paper for years. It is made from 100% cotton and absorbs the watercolor better than any other. The cold press method creates a beautiful texture that give my painting added depth and texture. This is a versitile paper at the best price I have found. I cut it to size as needed to use it for many different projects.

I bought this thinking it was a block, but it's a pad that is gluebound at the top, so I decided to use this pad for experimentation, especially with the decent price. I love the texture of this paper for wet-on-wet techniques, but it will definitely buckle a bit unless you wet + stretch the paper. It has never pilled or torn on me, even after reworking an area multiple times with gouache. This paper really makes colours pop and water easier to control. Can handle many glazes :)

Arches a fait ses preuves, y a rien à redire, c’est du papier de très bonne qualité !
