Featuring a unique gelatin sizing process, it offers superior pigment absorbency and durability. The block’s 4-sided adhesive keeps sheets perfectly flat, preventing warping during wet media use. Ideal for professional artists working with watercolor, ink, gouache, and acrylics, this archival-quality paper has been crafted in France since 1492 and is favored by masters of art history. ## Description Making prestigious art papers since 1492, Arches has been the paper of choice for artists from Van Gogh and Matisse to Picasso, Dali, Warhol and beyond. Hailed as brilliant, this archival paper is mold-made with 100% cotton fibers, has a natural white luster and stands the test of time so your work shines long after you've laid down your masterpiece. A process exclusive to Arches, gelatin sizing ""to the core"" gives each sheet on every Arches hot press block astounding absorbency, as the pH-neutral, gelatin-sized internal and external fibers hold pigment in place without over-saturation. Each block of this watercolor paper for artists boasts a sturdy, protective black cover sheet; remove it and find that each pristine sheet of smooth paper has been securely fastened on all four sides with a strong, black pH-neutral adhesive that also aids in shape-retention. Painting with your paper still on the block lets you easily correct liquid media mistakes repeatedly without warping or buckling as the paper remains perfectly flat while adhered to the block. Not only are these watercolor supplies durable, but they are also versatile. Arches can be used as more than just water color paper for artists; this exquisite, thick paper functions well with all wet techniques such as ink, gouache, and acrylic painting as the cotton fibers adapt to whatever medium you use to craft your work. With 13 sizes available in 140lb (300gsm), 20-sheet blocks, this is the ideal painting paper for artists. Arches hot pressed watercolor papers contain no optical brightening agents (permanent in accordance with ISO 9701). When it comes to high-end consistency and variety, you'll find the exceptional quality you seek within the premium papers at Arches.

You can throw lots of watercolour and ink on the paper and it moves around beautifully. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Doesn't buckle as much as some papers *by A***E on 7 January 2023* Although expensive for such a small pad, I thought I'd give it a go, I did find it to be very good takes water colour well, dip pen and ink also good and it should be for the price, I would like to buy the large pads that they have, but that is just to expensive over a £100 for 20 sweets. Maybe one day all in all very good paper.
