ARCHES Aquarelle Watercolor Paper Roll Cold Press Natural White 140 lb 44.5 in x 10 yds

ARCHES® aquarelle watercolor paper provides superior performance for discerning artists. Thanks to an exclusive core sizing, each sheet offers astounding absorbency, as the ph-neutral internal & external fibers hold pigment in place without over-saturation. The heavyweight surface withstands multiple layers of paint with minimal warping & is suitable for water-based mediums such as ink, gouache & acrylic painting. Available as cold press, hot press & rough for different textures: choosing the right surface can impact the success of your piece just as much as skill level & paint quality. Cold press: wet paper pulp is pressed onto a cylinder mould & dried between layers of absorbent fabric, ensuring the texture: or "tooth": created by the mould remains intact. This texture provides balanced absorbency & allows for expressive, improvised strokes, making it a favorite for landscape paintings, expressionist portraits & urban sketching. This paper is natural white, a warm, slightly creamy tone for a traditional, soft aesthetic. Pads, blocks, sheets & rolls: offered in the most popular fine art sizes & formats, perfect for creating in a local café, studio, en plein air, or art class. The art of paper, perfected over centuries: since 1492, arches has been the paper of choice for legendary artists: Van Gogh, Matisse, Picasso, Dalí, Warhol & beyond. Mould-made with 100% cotton fibers, this archival-quality paper is designed to stand the test of time, ensuring your work shines for generations.
