Arches Watercolor Block, Cold Press 9X12

I love the paper

this product is too expensive and unneccesary for a beiinner… but great for more advanced, serious work I am a watercolor artist

Arches is my favorite watercolor paper. Worth the price to me. It is sturdy and flawless. I spend a lot of time on a painting so I invest in something that will last for a long time.

Always the best paper I use.

I have always used this block. I find that I like the way the paints flow and I have a lot of control with it!!

Love this paper it’s just a bit pricey on Amazon

I am a pro artist with a short tone of paper from various makers and trust me please: Beginners: This paper is a must if you want to be successful. Veterans well if you are a WC vet and you do not use Arches, I am sorry for you if you have not used this brand. If not Canson(doomed to fail) Strathmore, lololol no. Just no Strathmore. Bockingford good W and N is ok, but you may not be getting 100% cotton they have a line that is 25%. Look find another company that has been around making water color paper since CC sailed to America. I dare you. They know. Arches does not need your business. You need Arches though. Blocks are necessary if you do not want to tear up full sheets and are running low on painters tape. I can not endorse 25% mark up for glued edges even for Arches. Hobby Lobby, ftw.

The best paper (100%) cotton for watercolor!

This is not a toy. It is watercolor paper of the highest quality. In painting with watercolors your paper is of the most importance.

When you use cheap materials you get shoddy results. I have tried lots of paper and this is one of my favorites.
