Details:

Uses: Ideal for watercolour painting, as for all wet techniques such as ink, gouache, and acrylic. 

100% Cotton: The cotton gives the paper beauty, a natural lasting whiteness and an inimitable touch as well as strength and longevity. 

Special Formulation: Sized to the core with natural gelatin: a process exclusive to Arches. Arches is the only paper mill in the world to gelatin size its watercolour paper "to the core". Even if it is soaked for a long time, the paper will still retain enough gelatin not to become too absorbent.

Conservation: Fungicidal treatment to prevent the appearance of mold. With alkaline reserve, acid-free, no optical brightening agents.

Texture: Available here in Cold Pressed and Hot Pressed. Arches Aquarelle has an even , natural grain. The choice of texture will depend on the medium used by the artist. As a general rule, though, texture is a matter of personal choice for the artist, part of the process of artistic creation and expression.
