Arches Watercolour Paper is a professional grade watercolour paper of the highest quality. Manufactured in the same French mill since 1492, Arches watercolour papers are produced on a cylinder mould with pure French stream water. Made with natural gelatin sizing; naturally white containing no optical brighteners offers optimal longevity. Each sheet of Arches watercolour paper is hand inspected to ensure consistency and durability. Arches is strong enough to handle multiple washes of colour, masking fluid, scrubbing and artist tape without damage to the surface. Each sheet is permeated with sizing to give each fibre a consistent feel and absorbency. A4* is a Quarto size, traditional French paper sizes mean that the finished block is slightly smaller than A4, this is due to the traditional measurements of the original paper size and the finished book is about 1cm smaller all round, than standard metric A4 sizing.
(Leather is a natural product and any surface blemishes are part of the characteristics of the material, not a fault.)
