Arches Hardbound Cold Press Journals

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 fibres to be deposited evenly and spread in all directions over the wire. The paper is homogeneous, with a flatter surface and better wet strength and stability, giving the artist more control.

USES
Watercolour and wet techniques, felt pen, coloured pencil, pastel, graphite, pen and ink.
