Review: Exceptional paper!! - When it comes to wet-on wet, this paper has it all.... wonderful absorbancy, hardly warps, and stays moist for 5-7 mins compared with 1-2 mins for the "value for money" papers - giving you a lot more time to work your artistic magic. If you're a beginner who's keen on landscapes and cloudscapes then this premium paper is your only hope of producing what you're looking for......use the cheaper ("100% cotton") papers by all means but for practice, still life, animals etc but don't waste your time doing wet-on-wet using "value for money papers" unless you're happy with hours of rework and inconsistent results. Cheaper papers force you to adapt your style to how they work!! I value my time too much for all that nonsense (and frustration) , so I stretch my budget to using this paper - worth every penny as it makes for a lot less stress, gives much better and more consistent results, and a far more enjoyable painting experience all round ..... Highly recommended πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ Review: Consistent Quality - Excellent water colour paper. I have used it for years. It is a joy to work on. ## Features - Harmonious and natural grain surface achieved thanks to the use of traditional mould-made manufacture techniques. - Great dimensional stability (ability of the paper to retain its original size and shape when exposed to changes in moisture content) - Its unique gelatine surface and stock-sizing enables this paper to resist to scraping and shows colours at their best. - Permanent paper complying with the ISO9706 standards: mould-resistant, acid-free and without optical brighteners agents for limited aging of the paper and optimal longevity overtime. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B008N0BC2Y | | Best Sellers Rank | 201,853 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) 205 in Watercolour Paper | | Brand | Arches | | Brand Name | Arches | | Colour | white( ) | | Country Of Origin | France | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 416 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 03148950012852 | | Item Dimensions L x W | 3L x 0.31W metres | | Item Weight | 0.33 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Arches | | Manufacturer Part Number | C400014950 | | Material | Cotton | | Material Type | Cotton | | Model Number | C400014950 | | Number of Items | 12 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Paper Dimensions | 23 x 31 cm | | Paper Finish | Watercolour | | Paper Weight | 120 | | Paper finish | Watercolour | | Product dimensions | 3L x 0.31W metres | | Recommended Uses For Product | watercolor painting, sketching, and other art projects | | Sheet Count | 12 | | Style | Cold pressed (Not) | | UPC | 599039035751 798804691035 | | Unit Count | 12.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Arches - **Colour:** white( ) - **Material:** Cotton - **Paper finish:** Watercolour - **Sheet size:** 9 x 12 inches ## Images ![ARCHES 23 x 31 cm 300 GSM Cold Pressed Short Side Glued Pad Watercolour Paper - Natural White (Pack of 12 Sheets) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61AuGxLc5GL.jpg) ![ARCHES 23 x 31 cm 300 GSM Cold Pressed Short Side Glued Pad Watercolour Paper - Natural White (Pack of 12 Sheets) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61cfd3AVXJL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Are sheets glued all around?
