### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    The best watercolor paper
  

*by G***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2023*

This great for really wet washes and lifting.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Sets the standard for this type of art material
  

*by A***M on Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2023*

I prefer working from a watercolor block because I really don't like stretching watercolor paper. Arches paper performs wonderfully, and I can remove a finished painting from the block to start on a new project. I actually have 2 blocks so that I can work on more than one project at a time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Excellent materials but not adequate package for shipping
  

*by J***O on Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2023*

The paper its good quality but the package has to protect more the edges. When the paper arrives the edges of the paper was bent. When you are spending on this paper its to paint an art piece and the paper has to be perfect.
