Arches Huile Cold Pressed Oil Pad 12"X16"

Making prestigious art papers since 1492, Arches has been the paper of choice for artists. This archival paper is mold-made with 100% cotton fibers, has a natural white luster and stands the test of time. Gelatin surface sizing gives every sheet a semi-absorbent surface as the pH-neutral external fibers hold oil paint in place for a faster drying time without over-saturation. Extremely tolerant of large solvent and paint volumes, you can continue to achieve optimal rendering results without fear of scratching. Each sheet boasts a beautifully thick yet fine grain texture. Holds up to color washes and impasto techniques with minimal buckling or warping. Securely fastened with a strong, pH-neutral adhesive that also aids in shape-retention. This exquisite, thick paper functions well with oil paint and oil pastels as the cotton fibers adapt to your chosen medium. Contains no optical brightening agents. This package contains a 12x16 inch Cold Pressed Oil Pad. 140lb, 12 Sheets. Imported.
