About the product

ARCHES Watercolour Blocks 140 lb Cold Press

The most popular name in watercolour surfaces is available in ready-to-paint blocks.

The 140 lb blocks have 20 sheets of acid-free, 100% cotton rag paper. Sealed on four sides to prevent buckling. There is a small slit on one side to slide a knife through, in order to release the top sheet.

This watercolour paper receives high praise from customers who describe it as "perfect" and "the best quality." The 140 lb cold press holds multiple layers of watercolour without buckling, making it ideal for beginners and professionals. Customers love that it allows paint lifting with ample open time. However, it's noted as expensive, and one customer received a block instead of sheets.

  • This paper holds several layers of watercolor. It is fantastic.
  • Sturdy paper that really works for beginners who need to make changes.
  • I find this 7"x10" block the perfect size for plein air!

Best ever

I use this paper for watercolour, acyllics, pen and ink and multimedia works. It’s not cheap but it is high quality. The paper holds its shape without buckling or waving and is easy to remove with a pallet knife the next day when it is thoroughly dry.

Artists Satisfied Since 1492!

Arches water colour paper is wonderful. How else does a papermaker survive in the same business since Columbus sailed to this side of the world? I would recommend it to anyone with some water, watercolours, brushes, and a little inspiration to paint.

I love my Arches watercolour paper!

I prefer 300lb cold pressed, but when I am teaching w.c @ VanDusen Gardens in Vancouver, the 140 lb cold pressed Arches block is perfect! All my students over the years follow my lead!
