Arches Watercolor Block 9x12-inch Natural White 100% Cotton Paper - 20 Sheets of Arches Watercolor Paper 140 lb Cold Press - Arches Art Paper for Watercolor Gouache Ink Acrylic and More

We love this paper!

Like Arches for watercolor much better than most others.

This is truly the best watercolor paper. Very sturdy and workable without deteriorating the paper.

Not so easy to find high quality watercolor cold press paper in a landscape format that can fit in a bun bag. This one fits the bill. Arches makes very good paper. Cant say that its somehow superior to other high quality brands, though, and it is expensive.

I have taken many watercolor classes and every instructor says that Arches is the best paper to buy. You get amazing results with Arches Watercolor paper that you would not get with the less expensive paper. Highly recommend Arches.

Arches is the best. Great absorbency but stays wet longer. I’ve tried many different brands but I always return to Arches.

there is none that is better than arches

This is Arches watercolor block. Its the only paper that I use. The same in pad form is my practice paper. I am an experienced watercolor artist, so you can rely on my comment about the papers quality.

Seems to pill more than cold press, but dries flat without the pilling. Soft brushes recommended. Also more difficult to lift color off the paper. Weird to get used to but a good quality paper.

You already know its the best, go ahead and treat yoself!
