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

Arches watercolor paper is a premier choice for artists, boasting a rich history and exceptional quality. Crafted from 100% natural cotton fibers, this paper offers timeless beauty and an inimitable touch. Available in various sizes and three revered textures - cold press, hot press, and rough - Arches paper is designed to provide unparalleled performance.

The paper's superior strength is achieved through a cylinder mold process that distributes the cotton fibers evenly, giving it exceptional resistance to scratching and erasing without tearing or linting. This allows the cold pressed watercolor paper to slacken uniformly when wet, providing outstanding control for the artist.

Arches watercolor pads are pH-neutral, with a harmonious natural grain and no optical brightening agents. Each sheet is easily removed from the edge-glued pad, ensuring a seamless painting experience. The paper is also the only one in the world to be gelatin sized "to the core," which increases the luster and transparency of colors while preventing paints from penetrating the paper. This unique process makes blending, overlay, or paint removal easy, whether wet or dry.

Arches' commitment to quality is evident in its five-century-old papermaking heritage. The company's philosophy remains the same: to make the best papers and enable artists to produce their finest works, while guaranteeing that the papers will last as long as the Arches legacy.

In summary, Arches watercolor paper is a superior choice for artists, offering a perfect balance of timeless beauty, exceptional quality, and unparalleled functionality. With its rich history, natural cotton composition, and exclusive gelatin sizing, this paper is designed to help artists create their most captivating masterpieces and ensure their longevity.
