The fold-over pads contain 12 sheets of natural white, 140 lb (300 gsm), 100% cotton paper that is acid-free.
The paper is ideal for watercolor, gouache, ink, acrylics, drawing, and printmaking, and strong enough to handle multiple washes of color, masking fluid, scrubbing, and artist's tape without damage to the surface.
Gelatin sizing gives each fiber a consistent feel and absorbency.
Arches Watercolor Pads are available in two sizes and three finishes — Cold Press, Rough, and Hot Press.
