Description

Arches Aquarelle Blocks are the finest watercolour paper you can buy. Arches have been making paper since 1492, so they’ve had plenty of time to get it just about perfect.

  • This paper is made from 100% cotton fibre and is acid-free so, as long as you store them properly, your artworks will outlive you.
  • It’s naturally pure white, with no optical brighteners, made with natural gelatin sizing and pre-stretched.
  • Every single sheet is inspected before it leaves the factory, to make sure they’re all perfectly consistent.
  • The finished product is well able to stand up to rough treatment, so you can use multiple washes of colour and scrub away mistakes without worrying about damaging your work.
  • Many of the world’s leading watercolour artists use Arches papers, yet they’re also excellent for drawing, calligraphy, gouache, printmaking, acrylics and even digital printing. 
  • This paper has a smooth texture, which makes it perfect when you want to create fine details.

22nd February 2020 Reviewed by Helen Vine Exquisite paper, the highest quality I’ve found. Extremely smooth surface for hot press. Using it with pen, dip pen and brush with ink, for detailed stippling and also washes. It’s worth the price and lives up to the hype. This paper feels really special. In love.

23rd February 2017 Reviewed by Diane Umemoto Arches is a very reliable brand. I have a great preference for watercolour blocks because I can just paint straightaway without the need for stretching. As a semi-professional, who doesn't charge much for a painting, I nonetheless feel I owe it to my clients to use paper that won't discolour over time.

3rd December 2015 Reviewed by Gloria Meyer At first I thought that I was going to have trouble with this paper as on its first wash, which was an all over heavy wash, the paper buckled. When it dried the paper was flat again. It stays stable when doing small areas. My other paper started to 'crumble' in small rolls like tiny breadcrumbs . But my arches block has taken more that the other paper that I used for portraiture ,, I will use it in future with confidence
