Arches Watercolour Blocks

Made from 100% cotton, Arches Aquarelle Watercolour Blocks are made with professional grade watercolour paper of the highest quality. The paper is glued on all four sides to prevent buckling when applying washes and thinned areas of paint.

Manufactured in the same French mill since 1492, Arches watercolour paper is produced on a cylinder mould with pure French stream water. Made with natural gelatin sizing. It is naturally white - containing no optical brighteners, and offers optimal longevity. Each sheet of Arches Aquarelle Watercolour Paper is hand inspected to ensure consistency and durability.

Arches is strong enough to handle multiple washes of colour, masking fluid, scrubbing and artist tape without damage to the surface. Every sheet from an Arches watercolour block is permeated with sizing to give each fibre a consistent feel and absorbency. It is an ideal paper for watercolour and other wet media, and can also be used for drawing and printmaking.
