Arches Watercolor Travel Journal, 6 x 10 inch, 140lb Cold Press, 15 Sheets

The Arches Watercolor Travel Journal is an archival-grade, spiral-bound book prized by plein air and mixed-media painters. It holds 15 sheets of legendary Arches paper -- heavyweight 140lb (300gsm), 100% cotton, cold-pressed -- whose natural grain captures granulated washes beautifully and absorbs water without buckling. Arches is the only watercolor paper gelatin tub-sized to the core, which keeps paint from sinking into the fibers, preserving color transparency and letting you scrape, lift, or mask without tearing. The heavy-duty black spiral binding opens a full 180 degrees or folds back flat, and a rigid backing board doubles as a built-in lap easel. Acid-free, pH-neutral, and optical-brightener-free for true, permanent color, also suited to gouache, acrylic, and ink.
