Studio Watercolor Pad, Cold-Press, 9" x 12", 140 lb., 50 Sheets

This paper is really good. Been using it for a while now. It does warp a little when it starts to dry, but then it flattens itself back out.

I use this paper for my some of my calligraphy projects. It has a texture that looks very nice (although the texture requires a bit of care with my pen, but I knew that before I bought it). This paper is very absorbent (which means that my fine lines do not “feather”, they remain sharp. This is a big deal to calligraphers, because lots of our lettering is very precise and different elements of out letters and flourishing can be very close together. If the paper causes the lines to feather or bleed into each other, the piece is ruined. This paper is great for preventing this. It’s nice and thick (140 lb). Highly recommend.

Great and affordable watercolor paper

Amazing!

This is good watercolor paper to do wet paint on dry paper but wet on wet it is a challenge. I can only do 2 washes. If I do more the sizing dulls the paint. Because of the price I will keep buying. I am not selling my paintings. This is a hobby. If I do wet on wet I buy the ready cut 100% cotton paper. It is affordable.

I really like this paper. It’s not 100% cotton as it states but it retains water well. I’ve been painting with water colors now for about six months and using student grade wood pulp paper and wondering why good paints like Windsor Newton look chalky or don’t flow on the paper - giving me that beautiful translucency i so love. It’s the paper lol. So I suggest this paper to those looking for a step up but don’t want to pay exorbitant prices for watercolor paper.

I compared this paper to 2 different 100% cotton papers in side by side tests. Easily outperformed one of them. It was pretty comparable to the other 100% cotton paper, but that paper is roughly 4 times as expensive! Dollar for dollar this is THE best paper I’ve ever used! It will become my go to paper from now on. Love this paper!

As a beginner in watercolor, I've tried ALL THE PAPER..it's crazy but I have. The problem I have had with alternatives to 100% cotton is the way the pigment lays down and looks after drying. It's uneven and hard to see your real progress unless you're using the real thing. Fabriano is the answer and it's such a deal. I see one reviewer got 12 pages but I didn't. I got all 50 pages in a thick pad and I feel fine using it for anything from exercises to painting something like florals. You can really see how you'r strokes are improving etc. Love it. This is officially the paper I'm buying when I'm not buying arches, hahnemuhl, baohoang, winsor & Newton paper. This is a real deal and a generous amount in a large thick pad. So happy with it.

O bloco chegou intacto! Veio em um envelope papel bolha. Chegou em perfeitas condições! Excelente!

Tenía dudas de si soportaría la cantidad de humedad para la acuarela y salió excelente, son 50 hojas de 300g/m2 de algodón en una medida de 22.9 cm X 30.5, vienen adheridas con goma y es muy fácil desprenderlas, el paquete llegó sin ningún golpe o marca. Muy buena compra.

Came with grease stains all over.

Un buen block para acuarela

De muy buena calidad
