Arches Aquarelle Watercolour - Hot Pressed, 300GSM, 100% Cotton (20 Sheets)
The gold standard in professional watercolour paper, Arches Watercolour Paper is crafted in France using traditional cylinder mould-making techniques and over 500 years of papermaking expertise. This cold pressed (NOT) paper features a subtle texture that offers the perfect balance between smoothness and absorbency — ideal for both fine detail and broad washes. Made from 100% cotton, the paper is acid-free, chlorine-free, and archival, ensuring your artworks will stand the test of time without yellowing or deterioration. Each block contains 20 sheets of 300 GSM (140 lb) paper, glued on all four sides for stability — allowing you to paint without stretching. Arches paper is gelatin-sized both internally and externally, making it incredibly resilient to multiple washes, lifting, and reworking techniques.
