ARCHES Aquarelle 100% Satin 300 g Glued Pad A3 12 sheets Natural White

I like everything about this paper. It works with many media, not just watercolour. Graphite is amazing on this, as is colour pencil and acrylic. This is my go to paper for most drawings and water based paints. Wish there were more stars than 5.

This is excellent quality paper for watercolor. I think next time I'll get cold press for the texture.

Love this paper!Works so well with my watercolour technique would definitely buy again!First time working with Arches paper pretty impressed!

As long as you don’t expect too much from this paper then I would recommend it. It doesn’t stand too much heavy scrubbing. No where near the standard of more expensive papers from this company but it is more than good enough for simple work and sketches.

I have tried so many different paper products looking for one most suitable for cyanotype prints. Many manufactures boast that their material is acid free but I'm yet to find one that states it's also alkali free. Greater than pH7 destroys cyanotype prints - they simply wash off the surface. This paper has given the best results for my alternative photographic process to date.

Quite thinner than the normal arches paper I have purchased in the past, considered it is suppose to be 300gsm? It left me confused, it the same made and same product but this one is less quality? Perhaps because it is on the sale? I would rather pay the full price next purchase, if it means I would get the usual 300gsm arches paper. The paper is good but not what it say to be 300gsm,

I love this paper with a passion. Ive tried so many in the past, but this one is fantastic and has become a staple for me. Makes my watercolours look as if they are glowing almost, and its Wonder for getting soft effects. I chose this also because you can use coloured pencil in top smoothly. Takes ink and wash well, and doesnt nick or fray when erased on a lot. Of course you shouldnt erase too much anyway but this paper is rather forgiving when it comes to getting that under sketch just right! There's something about the way it absorbs watercolor too thats just magic. Worth every penny. If you havent tried arches before its a definate must try. Suits me wondefully.

I have tried other cotton watercolor papers, but none compare favorably to Arches. I prefer the hot press variety for the precision I can achieve with graphite, pen and ink, watercolor and gouache. Expensive. I hate having to spend so much, but, like the Windsor and Newton watercolors and goauche I use on this paper, Arches has never, ever proven anything less than superb in terms of quality.

Good as usual, but I wish it was not so expensive

Io non uso questo blocco per dipingere ad acquarelli ma per disegno a matita iperrealista su suggerimento della mia insegnate. Posso dire che la carta è ottima, per un principiante è forse anche troppo buona ma il rapporto qualità prezzo è ottimo quindi la consiglio. Per l'uso che ne ho fatto io è stata un buon supporto, ora però andrò su carta ancora più professionale.

What can I say, I've found my perfect 100% cotton hot press watercolour paper. There is a bit of a knack getting enough water on the paper I've found if you paint the area with water, as normal, then go back in and dab the paper with tiny drops of water again, from the tip of your brush, then you can see the water spreading all over the area you previously wet, leaving a sheen. Previous to this method you cant see where you painted the water at all, and its not wet enough. Hope that helps others.

Pour l'aquarelle cette marque n'a plus rien à prouver c'est LE papier par excellence l'eau ne lui fait pas de peu , le prix est certes élevé donc à acheter pour les utilisateurs déjà confirmés de préférence. Un vrai régal pour moi Arches est le meilleurs de tous les papiers pour l'araquelle du pur Made in France ...Cocoric...eau!
