Arches Watercolor Pad, 9 x 12

Arches is simply the best

The paper quality ‘rough’ is as described with timely delivery.

I have been using Arches for about 6 months after my art teacher insisted I left the cheaper papers behind me. I thought it was a teachers speech but she was so right. I started with arches cold press and immediately my work improved. I love texture so the hot press did nothing for me and I was happy with the cold press until one day I decided to try the rough....and I L-O-V-E it. I still go back to cold press sometimes (I have about 4or 5 books in my reaerve) but more and more I find myself painting in the rough.

Thought Id give this a try....Unfortunately for me, this watercolor paper is a bit too rough...just wanted to give it a try...Will try some other techniques on this rough paper to see how it handles different degrees of wetness.

Fair price for a great product!

Takes watercolor nicely. The rough surface allows you to use more water without warping the paper.

As far as value and quality: the best!!! It is always a great choice! For beginners again Arches is wonderful. However, it is on the pricey side and I like having a variety of watercolor paper for practice.

I used this for watercolor potraits specially. It is the best paper indeed. This paper helps to create an amazing wash, details Almost everything

Arches makes the best watercolor paper in the world.

Good
