Arches Watercolor Paper Block - Cold Press 140lb - 14x20 with 4-Pack Upsyde Angle Lifts

Arches Watercolor Paper is made using the traditional cylinder mould method, ensuring an even distribution of fibers that makes the paper extremely stable and resistant to warping or stretching when water is applied. Crafted from 100% long cotton fibers, Arches Watercolor Paper can absorb a significant amount of water without compromising its integrity or causing colors to bleed. The paper is internally sized with natural gelatin, allowing it to be scratched without tearing or linting. This internal sizing also prevents paint from penetrating the paper, enabling the light to shine through the pigment and reflect off the paper, while ensuring the durability of the colors.

The cold press finish of Arches Watercolor Paper has a light texture, which is the most common and reflects light well, retaining the transparent quality of watercolors. The light grain of the paper makes it easier to achieve certain details.

All Arches papers are made using the cylinder mould method, a technique that has been employed for over a century. With their long fibers, these thick, stable sheets are beautiful, durable, and resilient. Each sheet of Arches Watercolor paper is tub-sized in a bath of pure natural gelatin and then air-dried to add additional strength and durability.

Upsyde's Angle Lifts offer a solution to the hassle of trying to achieve the perfect angle while working in the field. These modern inventions are easily adjustable, allowing you to create the perfect angle for viewing or working on your artwork. Upsyde Angle Lifts are 2.5" wide with a maximum height of 2-1/4" and 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 of each Upsyde Angle Lift employs a special angled grip on the inner sphere, and the use of a material with some "give" allows the lift to securely hold almost any flat item in place for short or long durations of time.

The bundle comes with one Arches Watercolor block and a 4-pack of Upsyde Angle Lifts, providing a complete solution for your watercolor painting needs.
