Arches Watercolour Blocks

ARCHES® Watercolour is made the traditional way, on a cylinder mould, this paper has a harmonious natural grain. Thanks to this method, the fibres are evenly distributed so the paper slackens uniformly, when wet, maintaining exceptional bulk and great strength.

It is sized to the core with natural gelatin, a process exclusive to ARCHES® that allows scratching and ensures the paints stay on the surface, thus preserving the lustre and transparency of the colours.

For optimum conservation, ARCHES® Watercolour is treated against mould and its natural whiteness is achieved without optical brightening agents.

Arches® Watercolour Blocks provide a strong stable base for painting.

Arches® blocks are made up of multiple sheets of watercolour paper that are glued on all four sides, there will be no buckling and no need to stretch the paper prior to applying paint. Once you have completed your artwork, simply use a knife to easily remove the top sheet from the block without damaging the sheet below.
