Arches Watercolor Block, Cold Press 9X12

This is high quality watercolor paper that Allows you to use washes with lots of water For something like a sky....and is also good for details Like branches on a tree, a small flower , etc

Best watercolor paper. too bad it is getting so expensive!

Nice to watercolor on.

Great paper

I bought this for my granddaughter. She is a beginner watercolorist. I think these blocks are great as they have good quality paper and the block holds it flat so that it will not buckle and pool the paint...which is very frustrating for a beginner. Ive used these myself. Very convenient.

This product has an excellent reputation and I have used it many times. It is a high quality paper and i would recommend!

Ive always used Strathmore Watercolor Blocks. Although the quality of Strathmore is nice, now that Ive used Arches I cant imagine using anything else. Arches seems to be in a category all its own when it comes to paper quality. Arches is substantially thicker, holds water and color very well, and when using the watercolor block does not buckle even when using a lot of water. You can use tons of water and layers of paint, and it never effects the paper underneath the piece youre working on. I couldnt be happier. Plus the price of this paper when buying from Amazon is fantastic and affordable.

Love Arches hot and cold pressed papers. Ive tried others, but always come back to Arches. Think Ive found my forever watercolor paper.

This paper is well worth the price!

How could any paper be better than Arches? This block is great as the paper does not need to be stretched and it can be used at anytime.
