Its mould-made, textured surface mimics canvas, requiring no gesso or sizing, allowing faster drying and preventing pigment absorption or oxidation. With 12 sheets per pad, it offers a durable, archival-quality painting surface ideal for professionals and serious art students alike. ## Description Arches for Oil is a mould-made, 300 gsm paper (140lb), composed of 100% cotton fibres. The remarkably robust surface permits a full range of painting techniques, even including masking. It has a natural textured surface offering a quality very similar to a stretched canvas but with a better ease and convenience. Indeed, Arches for Oil does not require any preparatory work (there is no need to gesso, no need for any added sizing). It has a semi-absorbent surface allowing paint drying times to be slightly faster than on many other painting supports. The paper’s formulation, specifically designed for oil painting, allows no danger of oxidation of the paper fibres, and the pigment remains on the paper’s surface, without “sinking in” and without producing any oily “halos” surrounding the colour. Review: The best oil paper - Brilliant oil paper for sketching or single work. Holds a ground well and oils sit on this surface very well. Really ideal for storage too. Review: A good size that we couldn’t buy in the shop. - My daughter is happy with this. Good quality and needed for art GCSE. ## Features - Cold pressed - 140lb paper pad - No gesso required - specially formulated for oil painting - 12 sheets per pad - 12-x-16-inch pad ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08BG5JXJ7 | | Best Sellers Rank | 279,940 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) 302 in Watercolour Paper | | Brand Name | Arches | | Colour | White | | Country Of Origin | United Kingdom | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (123) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 03148950065797, 05060133851301 | | Item Dimensions L x W | 41L x 31W centimetres | | Item Type Name | Scrapbooking Sheet | | Item Weight | 102 Grams | | Manufacturer | Arches | | Material Type | Paper | | Paper Finish | Medium Surface | | Paper Size | A3 | | Paper Weight | 26 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Painting | | Sheet Count | 12 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Arches - **Colour:** White - **Material:** Paper - **Paper finish:** Medium Surface - **Sheet size:** A3 ## Images ![Oil Pad 12X16 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61f9XSlaffL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best oil paper *by S***L on 1 February 2026* Brilliant oil paper for sketching or single work.
