Arches Aquarelle Watercolor Paper — 140 lb. Cold Press (Bright White)
Arches 140 lb. Cold Press Watercolor Paper is the gold standard for watercolor painting and all wet techniques including ink, gouache, and acrylic. Made from 100% long cotton fibers, this paper has a natural, lasting whiteness, exceptional strength, and the unmistakable Arches touch.
Sized to the core with Arches’ exclusive gelatin process, the sheet preserves the luster and transparency of color while preventing paint from sinking into the fibers. This allows for luminous washes, clean glazing, strong surface resilience, and effortless lifting (wet or dry). Arches absorbs large amounts of water with minimal deformation, making it ideal for professional work and advanced students.
