Kristi: This is great quality in my opinion compared to canson watercolor paper. It’s more durable and for a beginner like me, you can add layer after layer or try to “scrub” a wrong paint color off when you mess up without having the paper get messed up as easily as cheaper brands. I definitely recommend for beginners.

TroyTroy: I didn't expect to like this paper as much as I do. I always though I liked smooth paper more but over time I've been leaning more towards textured ones and this is pretty textured. It absorbs nicely and stays damp for a decent amount while working but if left alone drys reasonably fast too. It's a bit on the pricey side for the amount of sheets but the quality is worth it in my opinion. Plus I work kinda small so I cut the sheets in half or smaller. Haven't had it too long to paint much on it but can't wait. Also if you have paints that granulate they'll look nice on this paper

Amazon Customer: The first time I've used Arches.frankly l was a bit disappointed.the rough surface is fantastic BUT the 150lb paper warped with only the hint of water and forget about "lifting out' it doesn't happen.. only a very cheap 150lb paper used when l first started was as bad.as l love the surface l will use what l have .. stretched..but l won't buy again.l think Bockingford is far superior.

Dane Saunders: Arches is simply the best of the best and the biggest. Its hard to go wrong with any selection of arches and look at any watercolor forum, demonstration, or decent quality of work and well over 50% are using some form of arches. Its also really nice that they are consistently discounted by a substantial amount. The savings make the best paper almost as cheap as a common academic grade. Product was delivered by date promised, however, the third parties reselling the paper need to hop on the AMAZON train in regards to shipping. Amazon prime has me spoiled and waiting an extra 3-7 days feels like ages. But the price on amazon will be half that found at any local retailer and will be the cheapest online.
Arches is the no brainer if you don't know what to pick but want something thats top quality, the absolute best value, and will last a lifetime. And for many. they probably didn't read this because they knew where to go to get the best deal on the good stuff.

InkyNFrost: This is my very favorite paper. However this pad was old and the sizing had gone bad. Paper was not usable and had to be discarded.
