Arches Watercolor Pad 9x12 inch Natural White 100 Cotton Paper Review

When looking for an ideal watercolor paper, I had heard a lot about the Arches Watercolor Pad 9x12 inch Natural White 100 Cotton Paper. I was excited to try it out and see if it could live up to its reputation as one of the best watercolor papers on the market.

First off, this paper has an exquisite quality that is hard to beat. The long fibers in the natural white cotton provide an inimitable touch and timeless beauty. It is also incredibly strong, with a cylinder mold process that distributes cotton fibers evenly to provide excellent resistance to scratching and erasing without tearing or linting. What s more, the pH neutral paper has a harmonious natural grain and no optical brightening agents, making it perfect for a wide range of applications.

One of my favorite features of this paper is its gelatin sizing to the core . This feature increases the luster and transparency of colors while preventing paints from penetrating into the paper, which makes blending, overlay or paint removal easy. For someone who likes to experiment with different techniques, this is invaluable!

In terms of value for money, this product is top notch. Each pad contains 12 sheets of 300 GSM paper at an affordable price point. Furthermore, as Arches has been producing premium art papers since 1492, you can be sure that your works will last as long as their papermaking heritage.

All in all, I am very impressed with the Arches Watercolor Pad 9x12 inch Natural White 100 Cotton Paper. It offers great quality and functionality at an unbeatable price point and is perfect for anyone looking to explore watercolors or expand their existing skillset. Whether you are a beginner or a professional artist, this product is perfect for creating beautiful works of art that will last for years to come.
