There is no other watercolour paper like Arches cold pressed 300 gsm. I don't need to stretch it and when I paint on it, it behaves like the superb product that it is. I can draw, erase, use pen and ink and watercolour on it with complete confidence. It sucks the paint in rather than letting it sit on the surface of the paper, and that is its magic. I would never use anything else. Apart from that, Senior Art sent me 10 full sheets packaged in two sheets of ply wood and it arrived in excellent condition. I'm thrilled with the service I receive from Senior Art.
