Arches Watercolor Block, Cold Press 10X14

This is the only paper Ive ever used. My mother owns this exact same product and when she let me use her block to start taking classes, my paper barely warped at all, even when I had it totally wet. This block warps very easily, and the paper stays warped. Doing washes doesnt work well because the paint settles into the 3 big wrinkles I get, even when I dont have the paper very wet. I am hoping that this particular block is just a fluke because as I said, the other one I used did not have this issue. The other possibility is that with her block being quite a bit older that they have changed the overall quality of the paper and its not as well made. Either way Im very disappointed as this is the only brand of paper that my teacher will allow us to use, and I have to tack the paper down very tightly to a board instead of just using the block.

Best watercolor paper on the market.

Arches is a wonderful watercolor paper. It takes a lot of abuse without pilling. I highly recommend it.

Cold press paper. First time used quite different results from hot press. Quality of paper very good.

Always predictably good

The best paper I have used thus far.

The best watercolor paper out there for the most people .

Great product!

good paper

Lovely watercolor block. Serves its purpose, and its easy to remove sheets so long as you follow the directions and use a palette knife.
