## Overview

Arches 31x41 cm 300 GSM Cold Pressed Pad offers 12 sheets of premium 100% cotton rag paper designed specifically for oil painting.

## Description

Arches for Oil is a mould-made, 300 gsm paper (140lb), composed of 100% cotton fibres. The remarkably robust surface permits a full range of painting techniques, even including masking. It has a natural textured surface offering a quality very similar to a stretched canvas but with a better ease and convenience. Indeed, Arches for Oil does not require any preparatory work (there is no need to gesso, no need for any added sizing). It has a semi-absorbent surface allowing paint drying times to be slightly faster than on many other painting supports. The paper’s formulation, specifically designed for oil painting, allows no danger of oxidation of the paper fibres, and the pigment remains on the paper’s surface, without “sinking in” and without producing any oily “halos” surrounding the colour.

Review: A good size that we couldn’t buy in the shop. - My daughter is happy with this. Good quality and needed for art GCSE.
Review: Bent - Arrived bent. Disappointing. Paper itself is excellent. Will purchase elsewhere in future.
