Arches Aquarelle Watercolour Pad, A4 Cold Pressed, 12 sheets 300 gr

The award-winning Arches Aquarelle watercolour paper is a favourite of most artists worldwide! Arches Aquarelle is made from 100% high quality cotton and is produced using the traditional roller moulding technique which offers a perfect result comparable to that of handmade paper. It is ideal for watercolour painting and all wet techniques such as ink, gouache and acrylics. FINE GRAIN: natural and harmonious, suitable for most painted techniques or subjects. It remits the light and enhances the transparency of the pigments. ARCHES is the only paper mill in the world that gelatinizes the mass of its watercolor paper. Sizing in the mass with natural gelatin preserves the state and transparency of colors by preventing pigments from transferring to the thickness of the paper. It allows overlays of washes and reinforces the resistance to erasing and scratching, without breaking, or creating lint. It also allows to remove pigments, working both wet and dry, and easily recover the whiteness of the paper. ARCHES Aquarelle can absorb a lot of water, its deformation is limited. Even if it is wet for a long time, the paper retains a sufficient amount of gelatin and does not become too absorbent.
