Aquarelle Watercolour Paper, N. White CP 16X20" 140lb/300gsm ARC-A1795002
The watercolour paper most prized by artists all over the world!
Made on a cylinder mould (traditional process): quality close to that of paper made by craft methods. The slow turning of the cylinder enables the fibres to be deposited evenly and spread in all directions over the wire. The fibres are distributed evenly, the paper slackens uniformly when wet, giving the artist more control. This process can produce papers with a high grammage and exceptional resistance to scratching and erasing, when they are gelatin sized to the core. Only papermaking on a cylinder mould can produce paper with deckle edges.
Its 100% long cotton fibre composition gives the paper its beauty, a natural, lasting whiteness and an inimitable touch as well as strength and longevity.
Exclusive to ARCHES, gelatin sizing to the core preserves the lustre and transparency of the colours whilst preventing paints from penetrating into the paper. It allows superposing of washes and gives it added strength to resist erasing and scratching without tearing or linting. It also allows paints to be removed, either wet or dry, easily revealing the whiteness of the paper. ARCHES Aquarelle can absorb a large amount of water with limited deformation.
Ideal for watercolour painting, as for all wet techniques such as ink, gouache and acrylic.
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.
Cold Pressed, Natural White.
Fungicidal treatment to prevent the appearance of mould. With alkaline reserve, acid-free, no optical brightening agents (permanent in accordance with ISO 9701)
16" x 20" - 140 lb
