Arches Watercolour Pads feature premium artist-grade paper made from 100% cotton fibres, offering exceptional strength, absorbency, and durability for water-based painting. Produced using traditional cylinder-mould methods, the paper has evenly distributed fibres that help prevent warping and allow it to handle generous water washes with ease.
Internally sized with natural gelatin, Arches watercolour paper allows paint to sit beautifully on the surface, enhancing colour luminosity while enabling lifting, layering, and reworking techniques.
Available in a range of textures including hot pressed (smooth), cold pressed (medium texture), and rough, these pads are ideal for watercolour, gouache, ink, and other wet media.
Favoured by artists worldwide, Arches Watercolour Pads provide a reliable, archival surface for everything from detailed illustration to expressive washes and professional watercolour painting.
