Format

The watercolour paper most prized by artists all over the world, presented in a practical pad format glued on the short side for easy sheet removal.

MADE ON A CYLINDER MOULD (TRADITIONAL PROCESS)

Quality close to that of paper made by craft methods. The slow turning of the cylinder enables the fibres to be deposited evenly and spread in all directions over the wire. The paper slackens uniformly when wet, giving the artist more control.

GELATIN SIZED TO THE CORE

Exclusive to ARCHES, gelatin sizing to the core preserves the lustre and transparency of colours whilst preventing paints from penetrating into the paper. It allows superposing of washes and gives added strength to resist erasing and scratching without tearing or linting.

COMPOSITION

100% long cotton fibre composition gives the paper its beauty, a natural lasting whiteness and an inimitable touch as well as exceptional strength. Pure cotton fibres ensure precise absorbency and longevity with pH neutrality.

USES

Ideal for watercolour painting, as well as all wet techniques such as gouache, ink, and acrylic. Available in Cold Pressed, Hot Pressed, and Rough textures at 185gsm and 300gsm.
