Arches Cold Press Watercolor Pad, 9"X12" 2-Pack

This paper has just the right amount of tooth and absorbs a lot of water. It might be a bit pricey for beginners but it is true that paper quality is so important!

I am so new to doing watercolor. I have tried a brands and by far this is the best one. I am happy with the results because the paper takes lots of water, the colors show their quality in it.

I hear the hype about this paper. It’s great but I’ll keep buying my less costly paper.

I got this paper for my wife for Christmas. She’s painted two watercolor pictures so far and her expectations were exceeded in every way. It costs a little more but that is more than offset by the joy of using it.

So happy to find Arches paper ! Is my favorite to use for watercolor painting.

This is the best watercolor paper out there for me.It has a great texture and lets you blend easily.

This is the best paper I have found for watercolor. I am new to watercolor and it can be very Frustrating when the paper buckles and you cannot lift off a color that you may want to lighten, without it getting old fuzzy. I have tried different kinds of watercolor paper, so far this is the best.

I decided to finally try a better quality watercolor, and while the deeper texture took some adapting for my watercolor calligraphy, wow, does it hold color and blend so beautifully. I wish I hadn’t waited so long to upgrade my paper! Plus this 2 pack is the best deal!!
