Arches Watercolor Pad, 9 x 12

Love the texture, absorbance, versatility and end results

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

Best paper I have used

This is the paper every art teacher recommends. Totally worthed. I use it for my final pictures.

I buy this product and take it with me while traveling. I love Arches but I cant always afford a whole block of paper. Arches is an excellent watercolor paper especially for loose painting because I use a lot of water.

It was actually less rough than I expected and I was able to get interesting brush strokes on the paper. More so than Cold Pressed. It will not be my goto paper but when I want more textures, Rough workd great.

As far as value and quality: the best!!! It is always a great choice! For beginners again Arches is wonderful. However, it is on the pricey side and I like having a variety of watercolor paper for practice.

Love this paper!!!! This is the first time I have purchased Arches Rough paper and WOW - I am extremely impressed. It is well worth the money.

Love the texture

I have been using Arches for about 6 months after my art teacher insisted I left the cheaper papers behind me. I thought it was a teachers speech but she was so right. I started with arches cold press and immediately my work improved. I love texture so the hot press did nothing for me and I was happy with the cold press until one day I decided to try the rough....and I L-O-V-E it. I still go back to cold press sometimes (I have about 4or 5 books in my reaerve) but more and more I find myself painting in the rough.
