Arches Aquarelle watercolour blocks are made on a cylinder mould, which offers a quality close to papers made by craftmenship methods. The slow turning of the cylinder enables the fibres to be deposited evenly & spread in all directions over the wire. The fibres are distributed evenly, the paper slackens uniformly when wet, giving the artist more control. Only papermaking on a cylindermould can produce paper with deckle edges. This process can produce papers with a high grammage & exceptional resistance to scratching & erasing. The Arches blocks are available in 3 textures:*cold press: paper with a natural, harmonious grain, suited to the majority of techniques or subjects. It reflects the light & gives the pigments a sublimelytransparent effect.*hot press: this paper undergoes an extra finishing process, passing througha press to obtain a very smooth surface. The grain is imperceptible & absorbs the colours more quickly. It is suitable for detailed work & drawing very fine lines.*rough: this is the paper with the most relief. This texture brings out the colours & gives volume. Quality/ Recommended: Recommended for professional artists. Weight: 300gsm Acid free: Yes Made from: 100% cotton
Colour: Natural White Ideal for: Ideal for watercolour painting, as for all wet techniques such as ink, gouache & acrylic. Texture: Rough Brand: Arches Format (cm): 18 x 26 cm, 23 x 31cm, 26 x 36 cm, 31 x 41 cm, 36 x 51 cm, 46 x 61 cm Format (inches): 7 x 10.2 inches (approx.), 9 x 12.2 inches (approx.), 10.2 x 14.1 inches (approx.), 12.2 x 16.1 inches (approx.), 14.1 x 20 inches (approx.), 18.1 x 24 inches (approx.) Sizing: Sized to the core with natural gelatin: a process exclusive to Arches, who is the only paper mill in the world to gelatin size its watercolour paper to the core. Even if it is soaked for a long time, the paper will still retain enough gelatin not to become too absorbent. Mould made: Made using a cylinder mould. Atraditional process which produces very high quality papers similar to handmade paper. Arches has been using this method to makepaper since 1895.
