Arches Watercolor Block, Cold Press 9X12

Best watercolor paper money can buy.

This paper was a gift for a family member who is a watercolor artist. Its one of her favorites, and she was very pleased to receive it.

Great paper. Too bad it has the black binding around the edges of each sheet. . Of course if you frame your work the black binding wont be visible. And if you work VERY hard, maybe you can get the black binding off. . . . . It was beyond me though!

this is the best paper out there, for watercoloring, on a block.

i love this paper and how it is taped down on the sides. I recently got some 300 lb paper from the same manufacture and like it better

Its crazy; Ive used Strathmore before and its very nice but then my friend gave me a piece of this paper. Just the look of it is amazing; the texture is wonderful and it feels great and thick. The color looks brilliant on it, even with cheaper paints. Now strathmore is for my fun small projects and this paper is for my big ones.

Arches is always the best!

Best watercolor paper. too bad it is getting so expensive!

Would be the perfect paper except for the black binding holding the pad together. you get an incredibly annoying scraggly plastic black border that you cannot remove unless you trim the edge of the paper... Otherwise I love the paper.
