Arches Watercolor Block, Cold Press 9X12

Great paper. Too bad it has the black binding around the edges of each sheet. . Of course if you frame your work the black binding wont be visible. And if you work VERY hard, maybe you can get the black binding off. . . . . It was beyond me though!

Arches Sells Itself but I did find some defects in the seal.

I really love Arches paper and particularly their watercolor blocks. They are truly sealed on all sides (except for small are where you insert your palette knife to separate the pages). Ive used other blocks that separate right away and its annoying; I buy blocks for a reason and if they separate before you even use them, may as well buy loose papers. The paper has consistent, even tooth and hold the watercolor beautifully while also providing you time to work the paint as needed for blending/blotting, etc.

Its no wander why this paper is highly suggested by professionals. It makes your work so vibrant. It is very unforgiving of mistakes so keep that in mind :)

Best watercolor paper money can buy.

Great price, great product

Love using this product and will continue to purchase it.

Ive been using arches for years and its the best paper there is for water colors, in my opinion. Also $25 is an awesome price for this block considering its usually $60. if your serious when it comes to painting watercolors i recommend this paper

My wife the artist likes it.

Great paper
