Arches watercolour paper is made the traditional way using a cylinder mould as it ensures fibres are evenly distributed making the paper extremely stable so it will not warp or stretch when water is applied to it. It is 100% cotton fibres allowing it to absorb a lot of water without warping.

Paper prevents paint penetrating into the paper allowing light to shine through the pigment and reflect off the paper while ensuring durability of the colours. This A3 cold pressed gummed pad has 12 sheets and is available in 300gsm. Can also be used with acrylic paint.
