Arches Aquarelle watercolour sheets are made on a cylinder mould, which offers a quality close to handmade papers. The slow turning of the cylinder enables the fibres to be deposited evenly and spread in all directions over the wire.

The fibres are distributed evenly, the paper slackens uniformly when wet, giving the artist more control. Only papermaking on a cylinder
mould can produce paper with deckle edges. This process can produce papers with a high grammage and exceptional resistance to scratching and erasing.

These Arches sheets are available in 3 textures:
*cold press: paper with a natural, harmonious grain, suited to the majority of techniques or subjects. It reflects the light and gives the pigments a sublimely
transparent effect.
*hot press: this paper undergoes an extra finishing process, passing through
a press to obtain a very smooth surface. The grain is imperceptible and absorbs the colours more quickly. It is suitable for detailed work and drawing very fine lines.
*rough: this is the paper with the most relief. This texture brings out the colours and gives volume.

  • Quality/Recommended: Recommended for professional artists.
  • Weight: 300gsm
  • Acid free: Yes
  • Made from: 100% cotton

  • Texture: Hot Press
  • Brand: Arches Format (cm): 56 x 76 cm Format (inches): 22 x 29.9 inches (approx.)
  • Sizing: Sized to the core with natural gelatin: a process exclusive to Arches, who is the only paper mill in the world to gelatin size its watercolour paper to the core. Even if it is soaked for a long time, the paper will still retain enough gelatin not to become too absorbent.
  • Mould made: Made using a cylinder mould. A
    traditional process which produces very high quality papers similar to handmade paper. Arches has been using this method to make
    paper since 1895.

I have used this product for many years and love the rough texture as I can skim over it giving me lovely sparkle. It holds a good amount of water and gives me beautiful effects when I sprinkle with salt. Great for layering too.

I've not found a paper more suited to detailed watercolour. As always, Seniors delivered my order promptly and well packaged.

Reasonably happy with this paper. Generally I don't think watercolour papers are quite what they used to be. They don't seem to be as robust in recent years.

This was my first time buying this product, the quality is really great. I bought this size to cut down to A2 size and use the spare for swatches. When I received it, the size of the paper made sense as it has an embossed logo in two diagonally opposite corners, so depending on your use you may not be able to use the whole paper for your art project.

The paper came very well packaged, sandwiched between two thick bits of card and then also carefully wrapped in butcher's paper.

It takes ink and water very well.

I will definitely buy again.

This paper is the best, it tolerates multiple washes, lifting out, the rough makes it very easy to do dry brushwork.
It was beautiful packed for travel across the country sandwiched between 2 large light wooden boards. It arrived in perfect condition.
Good communication regarding availability from Seniors.

As a self taught beginner , I wasted time and money on cheap papers and almost gave up.
This paper is very forgiving and errors usually easy to correct. The texture gives added interest.
Love this brand above all the others I have tried.

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.
