Uses
Ideal for watercolour painting, as for all wet techniques such as ink, gouache and acrylic.
Arches Water Colour Pads
Arches is considered one of the finest water colour papers. Made from 100% cotton fibre, giving strength and stability. It is tough enough to endure scrubbing, scratching and erasing, and still accepts colours evenly, with just the right amount of absorbency. Can also be used for gouache, ink and acrylic. pH neutral, rot and mildew resistant.
Formats
Sheets, rolls, pads glued on the short side, block glued on 4 sides
100% cotton
The cotton gives the paper beauty, a natural, lasting whiteness and an inimitable touch as well as strength and longevity.
Texture
3 textures: cold pressed, hot pressed and rough. ARCHES® Aquarelle has an even, natural grain. The choice of texture will depend on the medium used by the artist. As a general rule, though, texture is a matter of personal choice for the artist, part of the process of artistic creation and expression.
185, 300, 356, 640 and 850 gsm
Exceptional bulk. Wide choice of grammages offering every artist the chance to choose the paper with the bulk best suited to his/her technique. Only ARCHES® offers such a high grammage paper (850 gsm) for special extra-large format work using extreme wet techniques.
Special formulation
Sized to the core with natural gelatin: a process exclusive to ARCHES®. ARCHES® is the only paper mill in the world to gelatin size its watercolour paper “to the core”. Even if it is soaked for a long time, the paper will still retain enough gelatin not to become too absorbent.
