This paper is the original Arches, sometimes known as Natural White. The choice of leading watercolorists all over the world, Arches is the product of five centuries of papermaking experience. You can rely on Arches to always be consistent.

The 300lb hot press paper is ultra thick and stands up to liberal water application. The Hot press is very smooth and does not have a predominant tooth.

High quality watercolor paper that allows you to work without becoming warped. I also did a lot of erasing and the surface was not affected.
