  • 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.

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.

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 wonderful. It’s never let me down and practically paints itself !

The thickness of this paper allows me to paint with a lot of water and still the paper doesn't buckle. It saves a great deal of time not having to stretch the paper. The tooth seems more textured than the 300gsm but I soon got used to that.

Senior Art offers the best possible price for this beautiful paper even after taking bulky rate shipping into account.

I haven't tried the watercolor paper, but I can tell that it was just what I was looking for. I didn't want a paper that warped and buckled, which is hard to find. Can't wait to use it.

This paper is good for pencil, ink, and watercolor. There are no problem wrinkles to stretch out after you have finished your watercolor work.

This paper is unique to work with. It takes some getting used to, but if you are using a lot of water with your watercolour technique this is the best paper to use.

Wonderful watercolour paper to work with. Very forgiving. One of the best watercolour papers on the market and made from cotton fibres.

Always use Arches, mostly 650grams, as I work wet and you don't need to stretch.

Bette Warhurst

This paper lends itself well to very wet washes without the need to prestretch the paper. Does not buckle when lots of water is applied.

Arches WC 640gsm Hot Pressed is one of my favourites for painting, I love smooth surfaces to paint. It is very forgiving and it is easy to move the colour around on the paper. I am not one of those artist who like to stretch paper, only for the reasons I do not have time as painting is usually done between a break in work. So the 640gsm is marvelous, its beautiful to use, the results are stunning - especially great with Daniel Smith colours!
