Arches® Aquarelle Travel Pad

Great size for travel, well known watercolor paper which is excellent for artists, has been used for decades, extremely durable , has the ability to take watercolors nicely absorbing them evenly, you can remove areas you don’t want or lighten by using water and blotting. The paper holds up well when you do this wash. It’s a great value, especially when you want quality paper for travel or smaller projects.

Arches Travel Pad is perfect in so many ways. Spiral bound makes it easy to use and the heavy paper holds up well for multiple washes. The size allows me to throw it in a case so I always have it with me. Once I tried the Arches brand I noticed the difference from other papers. The Winsor Newton paints I use are more vibrant and remain true without becoming muddy. As others have said, it is a little more expensive but when you spend your value time on a piece, you want the best tools available. My order arrived in shrink wrap in a bubble envelope in perfect condition in a very short period of time. Can't ask for more than that!

Good paper really does make a difference. I like the size for this paper. Makes a great journal. I used a lot of water and the pages held up beautifully, no bleed through or warping.

Arches 100% w/c paper is my go to watercolor paper. It’s the perfect journal for traveling! I bought two, 1 T use when traveling and one for creating. Well, actually, I also love Jacqueline Jax 100% cotton w/c paper. I use Jacqueline Jax honey based, non toxic watercolor paints as well!

I hesitated in buying an Arches travel journal. I have been using lesser quality ones and I like them, but I love painting on Arches paper. When I first began painting with watercolor paints I didn’t realize the difference the good quality paper makes. Arches is the best. It will level up your art. Good quality paper is the most important thing you can have. I used this as a watercolor travel journal and sometimes just for fun. For personal art or gifted art, I only use arches now.

Very high quality watercolor paper.

So very very nice to work on. Will be perfect for my art workshop in France. I didn’t clip the paper down to the pad so it does warp but that’s on me. Excellent resilience with glazing and lifting. Great size and weight, love the spiral binding. It’s made watercolor fun again.

Very nice always! Top Pro Choice.
