Arches Pad Watercolour Cold Pressed A5 12sh 300gsm 100% Cotton

100% cotton

The cotton gives the paper beauty, a natural, lasting whiteness and an inimitable touch as well as strength and longevity.

Texture

3 textures: cold pressed, hot pressed and rough. ARCHES Aquarelle has an even, natural grain. The choice of texture will depend on the medium used by the artist. As a general rule, though, texture is a matter of personal choice for the artist, part of the process of artistic creation and expression.

185, 300, 356, 640 and 850 gsm

Exceptional bulk. Wide choice of grammages offering every artist the chance to choose the paper with the bulk best suited to his/her technique. Only ARCHES offers such a high grammage paper (850 gsm) for special extra-large format work using extreme wet techniques.

Special formulation

Sized to the core with natural gelatin: a process exclusive to ARCHES. ARCHES is the only paper mill in the world to gelatin size its watercolour paper “to the core”. Even if it is soaked for a long time, the paper will still retain enough gelatin not to become too absorbent.
