Arches Watercolor Paper Block, Cold Press 300gsm, 100% Cotton (OPEN STOCK)
ARCHES Watercolor paper is one of the most renowned professional-grade watercolor papers, made in France since 1492.
The cold press surface provides a balanced texture -not too rough, not too smooth- making it versatile for a wide range of watercolor techniques.
This method ensures that the fibers are evenly distributed which makes the paper extremely stable, so it will not warp or stretch when water is applied to it.
ARCHES Watercolor paper is made from long, 100% cotton, natural gelati (both internally and externally), giving it superior strength, durability and absorbency.
Being in a block format, the sheets are glued on all four sides, this prevents warping and bucking when water is applied ,so artists can paint directly without stretching the paper.
Once a painting is finished and completely dry, the sheet can be separated from the block with a palatte knife or paper knife.
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 color
All Arches papers are cylinder mould made as they have been for over a century. With long fibers, this thick, stable sheet is beautiful, durable, and resilient. Each sheet of Arches Watercolor paper is tub-sized in a bath of pure natural gelatin and then air dried to add additional strength and durability.
