## Overview

Made from 100% long cotton fibres and sized with natural gelatine, it offers exceptional water absorption without warping or bleeding.

## Description

Product Description Arches Watercolour paper is made the traditional way, using a cylinder mould. This method ensures that the fibres are evenly distributed which makes the paper extremely stable, so it will not warp or stretch when water is applied to it. Arches Watercolour paper is made from long, 100% cotton fibres, allowing it to absorb a lot of water without warping or causing the colours to bleed. It is sized to the core with natural gelatine, so it can be scratched without tearing or lining. This internal sizing also prevents paint penetrating into the paper, allowing light to shine through the pigment and reflect off the paper while ensuring durability of the colours. Box Contains 1 x Arches Watercolor Cold Pressed Paper Block, 20 Sheets 9-inch x 12-inch

Review: Great Quality, reliable and well packaged. - The best watercolour paper out there in my view. Its not cheap but its quality. just the right weight and as a block means if you're not too heavy handed with the water you get away buckle free. Really forgiving being cotton and nice texture. Yes its pricy so i keep it for more considered pieces but def worth giving it a try if you want to up your watercolour practice.
Review: A game changer. - THE PAGES ARE NOT BLACK! My stomach dropped when I saw the top sheet lol. I love these watercolour blocks as they hold tension and the wet paper doesn’t warp. I use a guitar plectrum to separate the pages from the slit at the top of the block. They are so easy to use. I have two, one to allow to dry while I begin on another. A little expensive, but it’s either this or faff with tape. I like that there are so many sizes to choose from. Excellent quality cold pressed paper. Love this brand. So happy to have found them. It’s a game changer.
