Arches Watercolor Travel Journal includes 15 sheets of natural white, 140 lb. hot-pressed 100% cotton rag paper that is ideal for watercolor, gouache, ink, acrylics, and drawing. The journal is spiral-bound on the short edge, and the rigid black card cover and backboard provide stability for working in plein air or for drawing as it allows for a sturdy support surface to work on. Each Arches Watercolor Travel Journal contains durable, acid-free, pH-neutral, and air-dried paper with natural gelatin sizing to the core. It will remain vibrant for centuries without conservation if stored and handled properly. Manufactured in the same French mill since 1492, artists worldwide have depended upon Arches for optimum quality papers worthy of their finest work.

Hot Press- The hot press finish is often used for portraits and illustrations because the smoothness allows for fine details. With a minimal vellum texture, the character of the paper fades and digital scanning is easy. Not just for watercolors, Arches Hot Press is also recommended for gouache, acrylic, graphite, colored pencils, pen and ink, and technical pens.
