## Overview

Arches Watercolor Paper Block features 20 sheets of premium 7.9" x 7.9" cold press, 140lb (300gsm) 100% cotton paper.

Glued on all sides with pH-neutral adhesive and free of optical brighteners, this archival-quality block ensures your artwork remains vibrant and pristine over time.

## Description

Making prestigious art papers since 1492, Arches has been the paper of choice for artists from Van Gogh and Matisse to Picasso, Dali, Warhol and beyond. Hailed as brilliant, this archival paper is mold-made with 100% cotton fibers, has a natural white luster and stands the test of time so your work shines long after you've laid down your masterpiece. A process exclusive to Arches, gelatin sizing "to the core" gives each sheet on every Arches cold press block astounding absorbency, as the pH-neutral, gelatin-sized internal and external fibers hold pigment in place without over-saturation. Each block of this 140lb cold press watercolor paper boasts a sturdy, protective black cover sheet; remove it and find that each pristine sheet of textured paper has been securely fastened on all four sides with a strong, black pH-neutral adhesive that also aids in shape-retention. Painting with your paper still on the block lets you easily correct liquid media mistakes repeatedly without warping or buckling as the paper remains perfectly flat while adhered to the block. Not only are these watercolor supplies durable, but they are also versatile. Arches can be used as more than just watercolor painting paper; this exquisite, thick paper functions well with all wet techniques such as ink, gouache, and acrylic painting as the cotton fibers adapt to whatever medium you use to craft your work. With 13 sizes available in blocks of 20 sheets and a 140lb (300gsm) weight, this is the ideal painting paper for artists. Arches cold press watercolor paper contains no optical brightening agents (permanent in accordance with ISO 9701). When it comes to high-end consistency and variety, you'll find the exceptional quality you seek within the premium papers at Arches.

Review: Gold Standard as you know already - Exceptional paper at a price. I usually use Arches cold pressed paper so this is the first time I use rough. Depending on the subject I’m painting. Rough paper adds additional texture to brush strokes and marks aiding in expression of rugged terrains and plains. Recommended. Wish it was available in thicker options on desertcart AE.
Review: Highly Recommended - Best brand.
