ArchesWatercolor Block, Cold Press, 9" x 12"

Very sturdy paper

There is nothing to dislike about a quality product and this is such a product. It is good to remember when ordering that this comes in different sizes.

First, you will never need to worry about your paper warping and shrinking irregularly if you use this paper on the block as intended. It remains stable and allows for you to lay down a wash without fear of it running or pooling. Second, the weight and texture of the paper is the best I have found for the money and allows me to do a wash or provides a nice texture when die brushing is called for. Lastly, it seems to be colorfast and stable for framing or mounting when desired. There are probably many other options that are possibly as good, or better, I will continue to use what works for me and recommend this paper and format.

its the perfect paper, and it should be, they have been making it for 500 years.

I was delighted to receive this package of watercolor paper. It came on time and in excellent condition. although I usually purchase loose paper; I find that theblock is very portable for outdoor painting I don't usually use 300 lbs because of the cost. But I found that the heavier paper works so much better than lighterpapers. Amazon is my first choice for most products.

I really like the “book” structure of the product. It eliminates the need to tape the paper down. The paper has a lot of texture.

Does a fine job.

Arches is great to work on. Slightly better than market price. 300# holds it's shape better than 140# which is more commonly sold.

Best paper I’ve ever bought

Used it for an experiment with lots of water and many layers of colour but I did not like the surface of the paper.

Brilliant art paper. Looking the way the paint moves on it.

Just as I imagined, quality

Arraived way sooner than expected. I'm always happy with Arches, the quality of this paper is unbeatable.
