ARCHES 185gsm Watercolour Sheet

ARCHES® offers the most extensive range of fine art papers made on a cylinder mould, maintaining a legacy of craftsmanship that dates back to 1492 when master papermakers began producing paper by hand in the Arches paper mill in the Vosges region of France. Today, it remains the only paper mill in France to manufacture all its fine art and printing papers using cylinder moulds. ARCHES® Aquarelle paper, gelatin sized “to the core,” is a benchmark in the industry, chosen by artists worldwide and uniquely made using this exclusive method. The cylinder mould process, combined with the use of natural cotton, results in exceptionally high-quality paper comparable to the finest handmade varieties. This traditional technique ensures luxury paper that is stable, watermarked, and features a natural grain and deckle edges.
