Arches 100% Cotton Watercolour Pads

Arches 100% Cotton Watercolour Pads deliver the highest level of performance for watercolour artists. Made on a traditional cylinder mould, each sheet offers the durability and luxurious feel that Arches is known for. The 100% cotton fibres provide superior strength and natural absorbency, allowing the paper to withstand heavy water use and repeated layering.

The paper is gelatin‑sized to maintain colour brilliance and prevent pigment from sinking too quickly, giving artists crisp edges, smooth gradients, and excellent lifting ability. Whether you prefer the smoothness of Hot Press, the versatility of Cold Press, or the texture of Rough, these pads offer a reliable, archival surface for professional work.

Perfect for studio painting, travel, and finished artworks, Arches pads are a staple for artists who demand the best.
