About this item

  • Prized Paper - The long fibers in Arches natural white 100% cotton watercolor paper provide timeless beauty and an inimitable touch; this rich paper is available in 13 sizes and 3 revered textures: cold press, hot press and rough
  • Superior Strength - A cylinder mold process distributes cotton fibers evenly to provide exceptional resistance to scratching and erasing without tearing or linting; it allows our heavyweight cold pressed watercolor paper to slacken uniformly when wet for outstanding control
  • Exquisite Quality - Glued on all sides to preserve paper integrity, Arches cold press watercolor block boasts a protective cover sheet and pH-neutral paper with a harmonious natural grain and no optical brightening agents
  • Exclusive Gelatin Sizing "to the Core" - Arches watercolor paper is the only art paper in the world to be gelatin sized "to the core"; it increases the luster and transparency of colors while preventing paints from penetrating into the paper and makes blending, overlay or paint removal easy, wet or dry
  • Premium Art Papers Since 1492 - After five centuries, the Arches philosophy remains the same: to make the best papers and enable you to produce your finest works while guaranteeing they will last as long as our papermaking heritage
