Blocks & PadsWhether for their portability, unique sizes or cost effectiveness, blocks and pads have been a staple of artists for years. Legion Paper is proud to offer some of the world?s finest papers in both of these formats. Pads are glued (or fastened) on one side, allowing the artist to easily tear out a page when completed. Blocks are sealed on three or four sides, keeping the paper stretched when used. When the work is finished, the page is removed by sliding a knife around the edges.

Arches papers, produced with resilient cotton fibers on the cylinder mould, ensure a strong performance.

Durable Arches paper is versatile, too, as well suited to acrylics, gouache, printmaking and digital printing as it is to watercolor. Offered in an exceptional choice of sizes, forms and surface textures to suit wide creative preferences, Arches adds another dimension of beauty to any artistic expression. For an assurance of lasting quality, look for the watermark with the sign of infinity - genuine Arches. Excellent for: Watercolor, Acrylic, Gouache, Pencil, Pen and Ink, Embossing, Engraving, Foil Stamping and Die Cutting. The world?s most popular watercolor paper is available in 20 sheet blocks. Mouldmade in France of 100% cotton; available in three different surfaces.
