Arches Cold Press Watercolor Paper Block - 10x14 - with 4-Pack Upsyde Angle Lifts

Arches Watercolor Paper is made in the traditional way, using a cylinder mould. This method ensures that the fibers are evenly distributed, making the paper extremely stable and preventing it from warping or stretching when water is applied. The paper is made from long, 100% cotton fibers, allowing it to absorb a lot of water without warping or causing the colors to bleed. It is sized to the core with natural gelatin, enabling it to be scratched without tearing or linting. This internal sizing also prevents paint from penetrating into the paper, allowing light to shine through the pigment and reflect off the paper while ensuring the durability of the colors.

The cold press finish has a light texture and is the most common. It reflects light well, retaining the transparent quality of watercolors, and a light grain makes it easier to achieve certain details. All Arches papers are cylinder mould made, as they have been for over a century. With long fibers, this thick, stable sheet is beautiful, durable, and resilient. Each sheet of Arches Watercolour paper is tub-sized in a bath of pure natural gelatin and then air dried to add additional strength and durability.

The Upsyde Angle Lifts are a modern invention that allows you to create an angle that makes it easier to view or work on your artwork, without the hassle of trying to achieve the perfect angle while out in the field. The Upsyde is easily adjustable, giving you the perfect angle, and is both easy to store and carry wherever you need.

Each Upsyde is 2.5" wide with a maximum height of 2-1/4". They can be used individually or combined in a stack to lift up 1" more at a time, achieving a greater angle to work with. The center employs a special angled grip on the inner sphere, and the combination of this grip and the use of a material with some "give" allows the Upsyde to slidly hold almost any flat item in place for short or long durations of time.

The bundle comes with 1 Arches Watercolor block and a 4-pack of Upsyde angle lifts, providing you with the perfect tools to create stunning watercolor paintings.
