Arches 100% Rag Watercolor Paper Bright White

The Artists' Choice For Watercolor Paper Since 1492!

Mould-made in France, Arches bright white 100% cotton rag watercolor paper is considered the most popular in the world! Each gelatin-sized sheet has four deckle edges and may be repeatedly erased and over-painted while still maintaining its beautiful surface quality and integrity. Arches watercolor paper is available in all three legendary watercolor paper finishes.

Arches Hot Pressed papers are plate smooth and are ideal for traditional watercolor techniques, as well as printmaking, pen and ink drawing, and airbrushing. The rich Arches Cold Pressed surface is a particular favorite of illustrators, watercolorists, and airbrush artists. For a bolder, more robust surface, Arches Rough provides just enough texture allowing for easy working, and is strong enough to maintain its character even after reworking. The Rough texture is also used by watercolorists, airbrush artists, and acrylic painters.
