More Information
Available in two sizes, these NOT Aquarelle pads from ARCHES provide a professional-quality surface with a lightly textured finish.
Gummed on one side, each block includes 12 easily removable sheets of traditionally made watercolour paper ideal for all wet techniques including watercolour, acrylic, gouache or ink.
Each sheet has an authentic ARCHES watermark, which becomes visible when held up to light (note, there will be less pulp in this area).
Made using 100% long cotton fibre on a slow turning cylinder mould, enabling even distribution & spread of fibres for a professional-quality paper that slackens uniformly when wet, offering the artist greater control. This process produces paper with high grammage & exceptional strength, especially when they are gelatin sized to the core.
ARCHES is the only paper mill in the world to gelatin size its watercolour paper “to the core”, preserving the lustre & transparency of colours whilst preventing paint from penetrating into the paper itself. This allows for superposing of washes, provides additional resistance to tearing & increased absorption of water with limited deformation.
