Overview

Cold press paper bound as a pad is the working part of this Arches product, an uncoated white stock made for painting and watercolor. It is sold as a single pad of sheets rather than a block.

The uncoated cold press surface is the reason to reach for it, giving washes a textured grain on a heavy sheet. The limit is quantity: a pad this size runs out quickly under regular practice.

Who it's for

Hobbyists trying cold press paper for the first time, and painters who want a few test sheets on hand, will use it fully. Those painting in volume or at large size need a bigger pad or a block.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Cold press textured surface
  • Uncoated white paper
  • Heavy paper weight listed
  • Pad format for loose practice
Cons
  • Low sheet count
  • Binding type not listed
  • Carries no warranty

Performance notes

An uncoated cold press sheet absorbs water into its texture, so washes settle with visible grain. The listed weight helps the sheet stay flat under wet application.
