Arches Cold Press Watercolor Paper Pad, 9x12 inches, Pack of 3

• PRIZED PAPER - The long fibers in Arches natural white 100% cotton watercolor paper provide timeless beauty and an inimitable touch; this rich paper is available in multiple 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 scratching and erasing without tearing or linting; it allows our cold pressed 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 SIZING "TO THE CORE" - Arches water color paper is one of the remaining papers in the world to be sized "to the core”; it increases the luster and transparency of colors while preventing paints from penetrating into the paper and makes blending, overlay or paint removal easy, wet or dry
• PREMIUM ART PAPERS SINCE 1492 - After five centuries, the Arches philosophy remains the same: to make the best papers and enable you to produce your finest works while guaranteeing they will last as long as our papermaking heritage

• Prepare Your Surface — Place the Arches watercolor pad on a flat, stable surface. If using very wet techniques, consider taping the edges of the sheet to a board to minimize buckling, although the 140lb weight offers good resistance.
• Apply Your Medium — Apply watercolor, gouache, ink, or acrylics using your preferred brushes and techniques. The paper's 'to the core' sizing allows for vibrant color and easy lifting or blending of pigments.
• Allow for Corrections — Don't hesitate to make corrections. The strong cotton fibers allow for repeated scrubbing or erasing without tearing or linting, ensuring your artwork remains pristine even after adjustments.
• Remove Sheet — Once your artwork is complete and dry, gently peel the sheet away from the edge-glued pad along the top short side. The pH-neutral adhesive allows for clean removal.
