Review: Excellent product, very satisfied - It wasn’t packaged in a box, but it arrived in perfect condition, nonetheless - about the same price as Blick Art Supply. It is a good size for portability and being in a block makes it certain that the paper will dry flat. And, of course, Arches cold press is always the best paper available for watercolor.
Review: This is the best. End of story. - No, Meeden and Yoohoo and Baohung doesn't hold a candle to the Arches blocks, especially in the larger sizes like this (and the heavier 300lb weight, too, with the teal cover). I haven't tried my Fabriano Artistico (I really should, and compare it), but when I want a real work of art, I'm grabbing the Arches blocks. I didn't think I'd ever paint this large, but you just end up needing to, and the 9 x 12" are more like practice technique papers now, and yeah, got the 16 x 20" too. And the rough pressed. It's 100% worth it, cold pressed is the exquisite quality paper; and I can scrub real hard, throw tons of water and paint on it, get lots of textures and ..the paintings almost paint themselves. I feel like I'm cheating, but the more you paint, the more you know this is the easiest contest: just pick the Arches and focus on your paintings, you'll come out WAY ahead in the long run. THIS IS WHAT TO GET.

## Features

- Prized Paper - The long fibers in Arches natural white 100% cotton watercolor paper provide timeless beauty and an inimitable touch; this rich paper is available in 13 sizes and 3 revered textures: cold press, hot press and rough
- Superior Strength - A cylinder mold process distributes cotton fibers evenly to provide exceptional resistance to scratching and erasing without tearing or linting; it allows Arches water color paper to slacken uniformly when wet for outstanding control

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ works great
*by H***Y on January 14, 2026*

I feel the best watercolor paper for me is paper I'm very familiar with; and I've been using Arches paper ever since I started watercolor. It may not be the best paper, but I know how it behaves and I know its limitations. What more can I say? So far so good, please don't change anything.
