Its unique semi-absorbent surface requires no priming, allowing faster drying times and vibrant color retention. The durable, canvas-like texture supports a wide range of oil techniques from thin washes to thick impasto, making it ideal for professional artists and traveling creatives seeking archival quality and convenience. ## 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. ## Features - Prized Paper - The long fibers in Arches white 100% cotton oil paint paper provide timeless beauty and an inimitable touch; this rich paper is available in 9x12-inch and 12x16-inch bound painting pads - Superior Strength - A cylinder mold process distributes cotton fibers evenly to provide exceptional resistance to scratching and greasy ring formations; it allows for homogeneous, dimensional stability, optimum rendering and outstanding control - Exquisite Quality and Functionality - This prestigious 140lb oil painting paper is perfectly suited for thin washes of color and thick impasto techniques. Durable yet lightweight, great for working indoors or out, the traveling artist can use oils and oil pastels to achieve shadow and light effects in their work - Unique Sizing and Barrier - Arches oil paper boasts a semi-absorbent surface with high tolerance to added solvents. This barrier eliminates the need to prime your paper, and allows your oil paint to sit vibrantly on the surface with a faster drying time - Premium Art Papers Since 1492 - After five centuries, the Arches philosophy remains the same: to make the best papers and enable you to produce your finest works while guaranteeing they will last as long as our papermaking heritage ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08BG5JXJ7 | | Best Sellers Rank | #144,286 in Toys ( See Top 100 in Toys ) #391 in Watercolor Paper | | Brand Name | Arches | | Color | White | | Country of Publication | France | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 4.9 out of 5 stars (134) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 03148950065797, 05060133851301 | | Item Dimensions L x W | 41L x 31W centimeters | | Item Weight | 102 Grams | | Manufacturer | Arches | | Manufacturer Part Number | 200006579 | | Material Type | Cotton | | Model Number | 200006579 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Paper Dimensions | A3 (31 x 41 cm) | | Paper Finish | Medium Surface | | Paper Weight | 26 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Painting | | Sheet Count | 12 | | Style | Weight: 300 gsm | | Target Audience | Unisex Adult | | Unit Count | 12.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Arches - **Colour:** White - **Material:** Cotton - **Paper Dimensions:** A3 (31 x 41 cm) - **Paper finish:** Medium Surface ## Images ![ARCHES OIL PAD 12X16 12SH(5) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61f9XSlaffL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Frequently Bought Together - Arches Oil Paper Pad 12x16-inch White 100% Cotton Oil Painting Paper - 12 Sheets of Arches 140lb Cold Pressed Oil Paint Paper - Painting Pad for Oil Painting and Oil Pastel Techniques - Strathmore Assorted Tints Gray Scale Paper Pad 9"X12"-15 Sheets -4400009 - Strathmore 300 Series Tracing Paper Pad, Tape Bound, 9x12 inches, 50 Sheets (25lb/41g) - Artist Paper for Adults and Students --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/412263751-arches-oil-pad-12x16-12sh-5](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/412263751-arches-oil-pad-12x16-12sh-5) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-11-10*
