ArchesWatercolor Block, Rough 12"X16"

If you are looking for the textured paper this is your deal!I like the backing also which prevents wrinkles if you use a wash with your art.

Arches blocks are my go-to watercolor paper. This 12x16 block was particularly difficult to locate locally. This order arrived within a few days, at a lower cost than the area art stores. A good, dependable paper. Handles however much water I use without deteriorating.

World's finest watercolor paper from a centuries old firm. Available smooth (hot press), medium and "rough" (cold press). Also in 140# and 300#.

I love the quality of this paper, absorbency and the weight. This is my first purchase of professional grade paper and I am planning on purchasing it again. It as delivered in a timely way and wrapped up to protect its transport. Thank you, a terrific product!

Liked the finished painting the rough texture looks good .

I like the rough extrude which contributes to the process of water coloring landscapes. The paper holds up to water and can be flipped over to paint on the other side

If you are painting watercolors, this block is wonderful. Each sheet is attached and must be removed with a knife when dry. The paper is strong and beautifully made. Really inspirational if you are a beginner like me or for any artist of any type.

To me, this is the finest paper on the market. I Like the block since it does not buckle when wet.Pricey but worth it.
