Arches Watercolor Pad, 9 x 12

Arches is simply the best

I buy this product and take it with me while traveling. I love Arches but I cant always afford a whole block of paper. Arches is an excellent watercolor paper especially for loose painting because I use a lot of water.

The paper quality ‘rough’ is as described with timely delivery.

This is my favorite watercolor paper. It is sturdy enough to really saturate and I don’t tape it down but hold it up and let the water and paint flow where I want it to go. It has a nice surface texture gives very good textures when used dry. It is less expensive than 300 pound which I also like, but can be taped down with good results.

Love this paper!!!! This is the first time I have purchased Arches Rough paper and WOW - I am extremely impressed. It is well worth the money.

I love the texture of Arches rough for watercolors. Excellent quality paper.

It was great.

I have been using Arches for about 6 months after my art teacher insisted I left the cheaper papers behind me. I thought it was a teachers speech but she was so right. I started with arches cold press and immediately my work improved. I love texture so the hot press did nothing for me and I was happy with the cold press until one day I decided to try the rough....and I L-O-V-E it. I still go back to cold press sometimes (I have about 4or 5 books in my reaerve) but more and more I find myself painting in the rough.

I love arches. I am afraid to use any other paper. This is the first time I have tried the rough paper. I love it.

Arches is the best and with this rough texture it adds more dimension. Love it!!!!!
