Value 2-Pack: Many watercolor sketchbooks offer just 12 sheets max. But your Arteza set gives you two 9"x12" pads – 64 sheets in all (32 in each) – so you can play with techniques & effects to your heart's content.
Premium Paper, Affordably Priced: Why spend a fortune? Your Arteza watercolor paper is thicker & heavier (140 lb./300gsm), so it can stand up to multiple washes without warping or bleeding through.
Just-Right Texture: Not too rough. Not too smooth. Your Arteza painting paper has a cold-pressed surface – slightly textured or "toothy" – so it's ideal for large, even washes & for finer detail, too.
No More Fading: Concerned that your artwork might deteriorate over time? No worries. Each Arteza drawing pad is 100% acid-free, so colors stay rich & vibrant. Perfect for most wet & dry media.
Satisfaction Guaranteed: We're sure you'll love your 2 durable, glue-bound sketch pads, with their easy-to-tear pages. But if you have problems, just let us know & we'll send you a free replacement.
