ARCHES Watercolor Paper, Natural White, HP, 185 g/m², 56 x 76 cm, Set of 5 Sheets
ARCHES Aquarelle is a legendary watercolor paper of the highest professional quality, made from 100% cotton on a cylinder mold (mold-made). Thanks to traditional gelatin sizing throughout the sheet, it holds pigment on the surface exceptionally well, ensures color permanence, and allows repeated lifting and corrections. Its smooth, hot-pressed surface (Hot Pressed / Satin finish), with a naturally white tone and no optical brighteners, is ideal for detailed painting and subtle color transitions.
