ARCHES® aquarelle watercolor paper provides superior performance for discerning artists. Thanks to an exclusive core sizing, each sheet offers astounding absorbency, as the ph-neutral internal & external fibers hold pigment in place without over-saturation. The heavyweight surface withstands multiple layers of paint with minimal warping & is suitable for water-based mediums such as ink, gouache & acrylic painting. Available as cold press, hot press & rough for different textures: choosing the right surface can impact the success of your piece just as much as skill level & paint quality. Rough: similar to the cold press technique but adjusted to feature a more intense, irregular texture that allows pigment to settle in unique ways for strikingly spontaneous, impressionist paintings. This paper is natural white, a warm, slightly creamy tone for a traditional, soft aesthetic. Pads, blocks, sheets & rolls, offered in the most popular fine art sizes & formats, perfect for creating in a local café, studio, en plein air, or art class. The art of paper, perfected over centuries, since 1492, arches has been the paper of choice for legendary artists: Van Gogh, Matisse, Picasso, Dalí, Warhol & beyond. Mould-made with 100% cotton fibers, this archival-quality paper is designed to stand the test of time, ensuring your work shines for generations.
