Railroad Track Through the Woods

Painting by Vicky Christensen, watercolor on 16 X 12 inch Arches 140 lb. cold press paper
I heard a lot of good things about Arches watercolor paper and since I had a 40% off coupon from Michael's, I decided to give it a try. I ordered a 20 sheet block of 140 lb. cold press. I have been painting with Fluid paper blocks, which have the adhesive on the two long sides of the paper. I like that Arches has the adhesive on all four sides.

    Great choices for greens Vicky, and the oranges in the foreground really set it off well :)

    If you like Arches you need to check prices in online stores like Dick Blick, Michaels even with acoupon is too expensive. I like the reds, but then I love the colors of fall.

      Kathleen you're so right about Michaels. It ended up costing $40 with the coupon. Regular price at Dick Blick online was a little bit lower. I definitely will be buying from Blick in the future. I order from their web site a lot.
