Review: Arches Bloc aquarelle grain satin 20 x 20 cm 300 g 20 pages Naturel Blanc - J'ai reçu ce papier bien protégé et en parfait état. Très beau papier sans acide que je vais pouvoir tester avec des procédés photographiques alternatifs.
Review: Beware of smushed corners - The paper is amazing. Best on the market. Or at least 99/100. Maybe there is one better in the world. The only issue is the shipping. Mine came with the corners a teeny bit banged up from the paper sliding around in the box. And the plastic around the paper was sliced open. For practice it’s ok. If you’re buying to sell your work, you should beware of this.

## Features

- 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

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Why I only use Archers Watercolour Paper.
*by C***N on 11 July 2025*

Without doubt, Archers is the industry standard in watercolour paper. Since 1492 they have been making paper and have perfected the technique. I have had numerous teachers, but the best of them said to me "practice on the paper you plan to paint on" and then he said, "you will only paint on Archers!" And so my life long journey of painting on Archers began. I have since added another paper to my work and that is Winsor & Newton watercolour paper. I prefer Archers, but I love Winsor & Newton as a great number two. It is hard to learn how to paint on Archers but it makes you a better painter. Lastly yes it is expensive, yes I use it for everything even exercises, stop complaining about the price, if you are serious, use Archers. It taught me to be a better painter and for that I am grateful.
