Arches Watercolor Pad, 9 x 12

Convenient; ease-of-use, really perfect for my projects!

Arches is simply the best of the best and the biggest. Its hard to go wrong with any selection of arches and look at any watercolor forum, demonstration, or decent quality of work and well over 50% are using some form of arches. Its also really nice that they are consistently discounted by a substantial amount. The savings make the best paper almost as cheap as a common academic grade. Product was delivered by date promised, however, the third parties reselling the paper need to hop on the AMAZON train in regards to shipping. Amazon prime has me spoiled and waiting an extra 3-7 days feels like ages. But the price on amazon will be half that found at any local retailer and will be the cheapest online. Arches is the no brainer if you dont know what to pick but want something thats top quality, the absolute best value, and will last a lifetime. And for many. they probably didnt read this because they knew where to go to get the best deal on the good stuff.

Paper is one of the most important things for making your watercolor paintings look amazing!

I love Arches paper and always use cold press so I wanted to try the rough to see the difference. It has its place for certain applications ie landscapes perhaps. A bit non absorbent unless you pre wet your paper.

I love arches. I am afraid to use any other paper. This is the first time I have tried the rough paper. I love it.

This paper is rough and forgiving. I can erase with water, let dry, and paint again. It blends colors well. ABOSOLUTE FAVORITE!

Arches is simply the best

Arches makes the best watercolor paper in the world.
