Arches Huile Oil Paper Sheets | 56cm x 76cm | 300gsm | White
Arches Oil Paper is specifically designed for oil painting and oil pastels, offering artists exceptional control and performance. Crafted using a traditional cylinder mould process, slow rotation ensures the cotton fibres are evenly distributed, creating a homogeneous sheet with a flatter surface and excellent wet strength and stability.
Made from 100% cotton, Arches Oil Paper has a balanced fine-grain texture similar to stretched canvas, allowing artists to comfortably explore light, shadow, and textural effects. The 300gsm weight is ideal for both washes and impasto techniques, while remaining strong, flexible, and lightweight—perfect for painting outdoors or transporting rolled sheets.
