Arches Watercolor Pad 9x12-inch Natural White 100% Cotton Paper

Arches Watercolor Paper: Timeless Beauty and Unparalleled Durability

Arches watercolor paper is a prized choice for artists, celebrated for its timeless beauty and exceptional durability. Crafted from 100% natural cotton fibers, this paper offers an unmatched touch and exquisite texture that sets it apart from other options on the market.

The long cotton fibers used in Arches paper provide it with a natural white color and an archival quality that ensures your artwork will stand the test of time. Importantly, this paper is made without any optical brightening agents, preserving its authentic, enduring charm.

Arches' renowned quality and functionality stem from its meticulous manufacturing process. The paper is produced on a cylinder mold, evenly distributing the cotton fibers to create exceptional resistance to scratching and erasing, without compromising the paper's integrity. This allows for easy and controlled handling, whether you're applying heavy washes or correcting mistakes.

What sets Arches paper apart is its exclusive gelatin sizing, applied "to the core." This unique process increases the luster and transparency of colors, while preventing paints from penetrating the paper. As a result, blending, overlaying, and paint removal become effortless, whether working wet or dry.

Available in a variety of sizes and three revered textures – cold press, hot press, and rough – Arches watercolor paper caters to the diverse needs and preferences of artists. From blocks and pads to sheets and rolls, each product is pH-neutral and features a harmonious natural grain.

With a heritage dating back to 1492, the Arches philosophy remains steadfast: to produce the finest papers that enable artists to create their best works, while ensuring those works will last as long as the brand's storied papermaking legacy.

Whether you're a seasoned watercolorist or a budding artist, Arches watercolor paper promises an unparalleled experience that will elevate your creative pursuits and leave a lasting impression.
