Why choose this product

Premium, Archival Quality

Arches has been a trusted name since 1492, producing mold-made, 100% cotton watercolor papers that resist aging and maintain vibrancy over time. The gelatin sizing enhances absorbency, making it suitable for all wet media, ensuring your artwork remains pristine for decades.

Ideal for Professional Artists & Serious Hobbyists

Designed for artists in India seeking high-end, durable paper that withstands multiple corrections and washes. Skip if you prefer cheaper, cellulose-based alternatives or lighter weight sheets for quick sketches.

How to use

  • Prepare your workspace — Set up a flat, dry surface. Remove the black cover sheet from the block, and secure the sheet on your easel or board for best results.
  • Apply watercolors or media — Use brushes or tools to apply wet media. The gelatin sizing ensures pigment stays in place without over-saturation or bleeding.
  • Correct and rework — Paint on the sheet while still adhered to the block. Repeated corrections are easy without warping, thanks to the shape-retentive adhesive.
