Hailed as brilliant, this archival paper is mold-made with 100% cotton fibers, has a natural white luster and stands the test of time so your work shines long after you've laid down your masterpiece. A process exclusive to Arches, sizing “to the core” gives every sheet on every pad of Arches cold press watercolor paper 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 with minimal warping to this textured paper. Each pristine sheet of this 140lb cold press watercolor paper has been securely fastened on the top short side with a strong, pH-neutral adhesive that also aids in shape-retention. Not only are these watercolor supplies durable, but they are also versatile. Arches can be used as more than just watercolor painting paper; this exquisite, thick paper functions well with all wet techniques such as ink, gouache, and acrylic painting as the cotton fibers adapt to whatever medium you choose to craft your work. With 3 spectacular sizes available in pads of 12 140lb (300gsm) sheets, this is the ideal painting paper for artists. Arches cold press watercolor paper contains no optical brightening agents (permanent in accordance with ISO 9701). When it comes to high-end consistency and variety, you'll find the exceptional quality you seek within the premium papers at Arches.

Review: Quality Product for the artist. - Beginner or professional, outstanding quality paper for watercolours and sketching. Yes, you can get cheaper, but not of the same quality and tooth. Recommended
Review: Best in the business - Been using this to paint tattoo flash for about 5 years now. Literally the best paper out there. Kidded myself that I didn’t need to pay the extra and it wasn’t worth it for a few years prior, I was very wrong. You won’t be disappointed
