Arches Watercolor Paper Pad, 140 pound, Cold Press, 9"x12"

The best. Period. The Arches compress paper texture is perfect, so crisp, and it’s a joy to both paint and draw on. Some prefer the smoother texture of the hot press version, but I enjoy the extra tooth that the cold press provides. I use it with both pencil and pen/ink (particularly with a nice dip pen, although the texture is ideal for dry brush effects), colored pencils, gouache, and watercolor. It’s even great with acrylics. It tolerates water very well, although I prefer to tape it down and stretch it for that extra stability. Additionally, I’m just starting to use it to create high-quality giclee prints on my new Canon Pro-300 printer. There’s no need to look any further, this is the gold standard paper for professionals.

Absolutely the best transition I've made with my watercolor paintings... beautiful paper to work with!!...it does warp initially, but once it dries,... it lays flat... gorgeous color absorbation but you can still lift up color to correct...

Great paper pads for watercolor

Best high grade watercolor paper. It is pricey but worth the $. Each page can be cut into smaller sections to make it last longest.

Arches is GREAT Watercolor Paper - I actually cut it in 4ths most of the time!

I really love this paper for watercolor. It absorbs water and stays wet just long enough. Doesnt warp real bad and the texture is the perfect amount of "rough" inn the paper.

Arches is a high quality watercolor paper. I'm never disappointed by how well it is made. I do wish it would specify whether the paper is brilliant White or cream natural. I'm trying to locate the white. While this paper is spectacular, it is quite expensive. I wish that's ALL art supplies would be affordable to everyone. One more downfall there was a delay in shipping. It also arrived in a plastic mailer. I was lucky the paper was in perfect condition because it should have been packaged in a box.

My wife loves to watercolor and this brand is her brand. She loves the Arches products, this orange and the green. Paper seems to take watercolor well without warping or bleeding through. The texture is good for her brushes.

Bol su için yaratılmış bir kağıt, kolay yipranmiyor, ayrıca kağıttan boyayı kaldırma potansiyeli yüksek, ayrica cold press versiyonu dokusu itibariyle ince taneli (diğer markalardaki gibi yüzeyi sert değil) o yüzden detay çalışmasına da uygun. Renkleri cok guzel yansitiyor. %100 koton çok uzun ömürlü bir kağıt. Ne yazikki fiyati çok yüksek, çalışmaya başlamadan önce ucuz kagitlarda sketch yapın, iyi planlayin ve öyle baslayin!

Muy buena calidad

Excelente papel, yo lo uso mucho para mis trabajos. Lo malo esel precio exagerado que lo aan en Amazon. Cuando yo lo compré están al precio justo, pero ahora está exagerado de elevado. Ojalá Amazon revisarara los precios de los productos que venden. Es injusto que estén tan caros!

Paints work so well on this paper, will use nothing but arches

Well packaged, great delivery time. Quality product
