Arches Hardbound Art Journal

Sober, elegant hard cover made from FSC-certified paper with the ARCHES® logo embossed and printed discreetly printed on the edge and a sewn square back binding that makes for a robust, durable journal that lays flat for optimum comfort and ease of use. Closes with an oblique elastic band to hold shut, with an elegant pocket made of black Velin BFK Rives® paper glued inside the back cover and a customisable bookmark made of ARCHES® Aquarelle 185 GSM paper.

100% COTTON 185GSM
The cotton gives the paper beauty, a natural, lasting whiteness and an inimitable touch as well as strength and longevity. Ideal for wet-on-dry or minimally wet watercolour painting or mixed techniques combining watercolour with ink, pastels or felt pens. Paper produced on traditional cylinder mould methods produces paper 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.
