Overview
A watercolor painter who works small gets a single Arches block of cold press paper, sold as one pack with the sheets together. It is made for painting and watercolor work.
Texture is the point: the cold press surface gives washes a visible grain. The block format holds the sheets together as one unit. The limit is the size, a compact format that rules out large studies.
Who it's for
Sketchers and studio painters doing small watercolor studies will find the sheet count and size manageable. Those who need large sheets, a smooth surface or a bulk quantity should look at a different format.
Pros and cons
- Cold press textured surface
- Compact sheet size
- Substantial paper weight listed
- Weight given in two units
- Binding style not listed
- Limited to a small format
- Single block per pack
Performance notes
A cold press surface has a textured tooth, and washes settle into it with visible grain. The listed weight is substantial, which helps the sheet stay flatter under wet washes.
