Arches Aquarelle is a professional 100% cotton watercolor paper roll with a weight of 300 g/m² and a rough texture (Rough / Torchon), made in France using the traditional cylinder mold method. Thanks to its unique natural gelatin sizing through the core and on the surface, it holds pigment exceptionally well, supports color brilliance, and allows for intensive lifting and repeated washes with minimal buckling. It is naturally white, with no optical brighteners, pH-neutral, acid-free, and treated against mold, ensuring lasting archival quality.
