Arches Bright White 140lb Watercolor Paper, 22"x30" Cold Press (10 Sheets)

Arches Bright White 140lb Watercolor Paper, 22"x30" Cold Press (10 Sheets)

The rich Arches Cold Pressed surface is a particular favorite of illustrators, watercolorists and airbrush artists. Each gelatin-sized sheet has four deckle edges and may be repeatedly erased and over-painted on, while still maintaining its beautiful surface quality and integrity. The pulp is brighter than the original Arches Natural White Watercolor Sheet, thus showing colors more intensely from the surface. Each sheet is acid-free, pH-neutral, gelatin-sized to the core, and air-dried. Sheets have 2 natural deckled edges and 2 torn edges, with the Arches watermark and embossed seal on 2 corners. Made from 100% cotton linters and both internally and externally gelatin sized, acid-free Arches Aquarelle watercolor paper is one of the finest art papers in the world.
