Arches watercolour paper is a 100% cotton paper. Arches Watercolour Paper is a professional grade watercolour paper of the highest quality. Manufactured in the same French mill since 1492, Arches watercolour papers are produced on a cylinder mould with pure French stream water. Made with natural gelatine sizing; naturally white containing no optical brighteners offers optimal longevity. Each sheet of Arches 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. Each sheet is permeated with sizing to give each fibber 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. Acid-free.
Arches is available in ROUGH, COLD PRESSED (NOT) and HOT PRESSED (HP).
The rough is the roughest paper, NOT is a medium texture and HP is smooth.
Please note that if the paper is cut then there will no longer be deckled edges on all four sides. When the paper is cut, in half, there will be 3 deckle edges and when the paper is cut, in quarter, there will be 2 deckle edges.
Prices reduced when you buy two packs or more of the same weight of paper in any surface.

Did you find this review useful?Not cheap, but you wouldn't want it to be!
Don't , Don't Do It , You know you want to....Do not use cheap watercolour paper...ever. The holy trinity for watercolour, in my opinion, with regards to paying the cost, in ascending order, brushes, paint, PAPER. The Arches brand is right up there with the best and what's even better is that if you get the 300LB weight then you can experience the true joy of Watercolour, you know, those crazy on line video's of artists throwing buckets of water and bold washes and thick pigment on near vertical paper, and that's just the underpainting. On this paper ever the failures look beautiful . 300 LB doesn't heed stretching, it's 100% cotton so scrubbing and lifting work really well (staining pigments are always difficult on any paper) and the sizing allows you to use both side to good effect. So no need to use cheap paper for practice. The Arches rough allows you to finally attempt those Landscapes and harbour scenes in that "Painterly Style" where the paper helps creates those wonderful water sheen effects or those creative lost edges as if by magic ,,, or is it just you using your art on a quality paper.
