arches watercolour block 300gsm rough 20 sheets

Arches watercolour paper is made the traditional way, using a cylinder mould. This method ensures the fibres are evenly distributed which makes the paper extremely stable, so it will not warp or stretch when water is applied to it.

Arches watercolour paper is made from long, 100% cotton fibres allowing it to absorb alot of water without warping or causing the colours to bleed.

It is sized to the core with natural gelatine, so it can be scratched without tesring or linting. This internal sizing also prevents paint penetrating the paper, allowing light to shine through the pigment and reflect off the paper while ensuring durability of the colours.
