Collection: Arches Watercolour Gummed Pads

Arches is considered one of the finest watercolour papers. The watercolour paper pads are made from 100% cotton fibre, giving strength and stability to the paper, as well as a natural, lasting whiteness. It is tough enough to endure scrubbing, scratching and erasing, and still accepts colours evenly, with just the right amount of absorbency.

Choose between smooth (hot pressed), medium (cold pressed), and rough texture pads to get the right look for your artworks - the medium (cold pressed) option is good for those just starting out. These Arches Watercolour Paper Pads are available in a variety of paper weights and sizes. They are gummed on the short side and contain 12 or 15 sheets per pad (depending on size & texture chosen).

Arches Watercolour Paper Pads can also be used for gouache, ink and acrylic. They are pH neutral, rot and mildew resistant.
