That is the largest arches 300 lb watercolor BLOCK paper pad I’ve seen. **Q: Can both sides of 300lb cold-pressed paper be used for Watercolor?** A: Yes! Whatever side of paper of the paper you prefer. 300lb. Water color paper is quite heavy so less likely to buckle. **Q: Is the block white or black?** A: The block is white **Q: How thick (NOT weight) is each sheet in inches or mm?** A: This is 300 lb water color paper. It isn't measured in thickness, whether inches OR millimeters. It is just as thick (or just as thin) as all other 300 lb watercolor paper. The only way to tell how thick a sheet is would be to put a micrometer on it. All that said, it is not _very_ thick--perhaps about as thick as stiff poster board. ## Frequently Bought Together - Arches Watercolor Block 9x12-inch Natural White 100% Cotton Watercolor Paper - 10 Sheets of Arches 300 lb Watercolor Paper Cold Press - Watercolor Paper Block for Gouache Ink Acrylic and More - Arches Watercolor Block, Cold Press 12"X16", 10 Count - DANIEL SMITH 284600010 Extra Fine Watercolor 15ml Paint Tube, Burnt Sienna, 0.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/45732072-water-colour-block-300-lb-640gsm-cold-pressed-9-x](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/45732072-water-colour-block-300-lb-640gsm-cold-pressed-9-x) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-09-14*
