No worse than Arches for watercolor paper

No worse than Arches. And that means a lot. Because Arches was second to none, at least for me. Until now. Maybe even a little better? Hard to say.

Pros
  • Art paper
Cons
  • Security

Pros
  • Includes 12 sheets of 140 lb. natural white cold pressed watercolor paper.
Cons
  • Large and voluminous

Pros
  • Acid free and fade resistant for extreme durability
Cons
  • Expensive
