ARCHES® Aquarelle Watercolor Paper Block, Heavyweight, Cold Press, Natural White, 300 lb (640 gsm), 10 Sheet, 12x16 in, 1 Count

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. This archival paper is mold-made with 100% cotton fibers, has a natural white luster and stands the test of time. A process exclusive to Arches, gelatin sizing "to the core" gives each sheet on this watercolor journal astounding absorbency, as the pH-neutral, gelatin-sized internal and external fibers hold pigment in place without over-saturation. Easily correct liquid media mistakes repeatedly and with minimal warping to the textured paper. Arches can be used as more than just watercolor paper; this exquisite, thick cotton paper functions well with all wet techniques as the cotton fibers adapt to whatever medium you use to craft your work. Arches watercolor paper contains no optical brightening agents. This package contains a 12x16 inch Heavyweight Watercolor Block. 300lb, 10 Sheets. Imported.
