Arches Aquarelle Watercolor Pad, Hot Pressed, 300gsm (140lb) 23x30cm (9x12 inch) | 100% Cotton Paper

• Prized Paper - The long fibers in Arches natural white 100% cotton watercolor paper provide timeless beauty; this rich paper is available in 13 sizes and 3 revered textures: cold press, hot press and rough
• Superior Strength - A cylinder mold process distributes cotton fibers evenly to provide exceptional resistance to tearing or linting; it allows our watercolor paper to slacken uniformly when wet for outstanding control
• Exquisite Quality and Functionality - All Arches watercolor pads for painting are pH-neutral with a harmonious natural grain and no optical brightening agents; each sheet is easily removed from the edge-glued pad
• Exclusive Gelatin Sizing - Arches water color paper is uniquely able to increases the luster and transparency of colors while preventing paints from penetrating into the paper
• Premium Art Papers Since 1492 - After five centuries, the Arches philosophy remains the same: to make the best paper for your finest works so each masterpiece lasts as long as our heritage

• Place the Arches Hot Pressed paper on a flat, stable surface. For very wet techniques, consider taping the edges to a board to further minimize any potential warping, though the 300gsm weight offers excellent resistance. — Prepare Your Surface
• Apply watercolor, gouache, ink, or acrylics using your preferred brushes. The smooth surface is excellent for fine details, while the gelatin sizing ensures pigments remain on the surface for vibrant colors and easy lifting. — Apply Your Medium
• Gently lift wet paint with a clean brush or tissue, or re-work areas with additional water. The robust cotton fibers and sizing allow for multiple corrections and layering without damaging the paper's integrity. — Correct and Refine
