Arches Hardcover Watercolor Art Journals

Art Journal ARCHES®️ Aquarelle The creative ally of every roving artist Made on a cylinder mould (traditional process): quality close to that of paper made by craft methods. The slow turning of the cylinder enables the fibers to be deposited evenly and spread in all directions over the wire. The fibers are distributed evenly, the paper slackens uniformly when wet, giving the artist more control. This process can produce papers with a high weight and exceptional resistance to scratching and erasing, when they are gelatin sized to the core. Only papermaking on a cylinder mould can produce paper with deckle edges. PROPERTIES Uses Watercolor and wet techniques, felt pen, colored pencil, pastel, graphite, pen and ink.
