Arches fine art paper is for more than just watercolor, artists have made is part of their art supplies for drawing, printmaking and other watermedia as well. This Arches Watercolor pack of paper has:
- 25 sheets of single elephant size paper that measure 25 ¾" x 40’, each sheet has four deckled edges
- this paper is marked as 260 lb. weight, but is 140 lb. paper. The paper is no heavier and no thicker, the additional weight comes from the larger size sheet.
- the texture of this paper is rough. For artists who incorporate large amounts of texture into their painting, there is no better texture of watercolor paper to paint on due to its pronounced tooth.
Arches is strong enough to handle multiple washes of color, masking fluid, scrubbing and artist tape without damage to the surface. Each sheet is permeated with sizing to give each fiber a consistent feel and absorbency. Try Arches watercolor paper and understand why artists for longer than you or I have been around have entrusted it for their art.
