Perfect for my target group - the under 10 crowd

March 9, 2016

Size: 9 by 12-InchVerified Purchase

My kids love love love watercolor, and we go through the paper at our home. The price on this product fluctuates quite a bit so keep it in your cart for a bit and watch it - when it dips under $7 I stock up. This is a nice heavy weight, with light texturing to it. I like this large size because I can cut it in half or quarter it and the kids still have a nice size surface to work with. I am puzzled at the poor reviews. To be fair, we don't super soak/saturate the paper normally. But it does NOT dull colors and it does NOT pile on us. Perhaps that's because my children aren't using any advanced techniques on the paper. I have worked with Strathmore paper before and did not find it noticeably different in how much it warps or how it absorbs color, but again - we are novice painters. :)

I attached two pictures of some of the vivid colors we get from this bright white paper. Be kind, the work is from my three year old!

i really like it , i use it for watercolor and find it doesn't buckle much i use only one clip to hold paper , the lifting color is ability is great , the best i've seen . the paper does not permit alot of scrubbing , no need to scrub very much , paint will lift so well . i use the wet watercolor techinque but don't soak the paper , just get it all wet and work somewhat quickly , the part next is fun and this paper handles it really well , the lifting . the sample is done on this canson paper . definately not just for kids , this paper is capable of really nice results . it works good for half fold cards , you have to cut it down slightly .

Great quality for the price

June 2, 2016

Size: 9 by 12-Inch

Not sure why other people found pilling issues after a single wash. I was pleasantly surprised with the paper's quality and it held up to lifting and many glazes. Other people have said it warps if you use a lot of water, but I was able to completely avoid this problem by presoaking the paper in water, and then letting it dry flat. It will still warp a bit when you do this, but I simply tucked it in a pad of paper and after a day, it was completely flat.

This is a great paper for practice. It's finer grained than Strathmore cold press paper. At ~$8-10 for 30 sheets, it's really hard to beat this price/quality. I have a relatively dry style, so maybe that's why I haven't run into issues that other users did. So far, I've had no warping (using the presoaked paper) and no pilling. Paper takes lots of layers with no sign of damage.

Does Not Hold Up to Very Wet Applications

May 30, 2015

I read the reviews before buying - some people loved it and some hated it. From the reviews, it seemed like a bad batch - not.
I'm a newbie to watercolor and have been trying all kinds of stuff for the past 2 weeks and been very happy with the paper. Today I tried a wash technique for doing skies where you soak the paper and then add color. That's when the paper disintegrated on me - with just one layer of water. When I applied my color, it adhered to the rolled up paper chunks and became little blue dots on my paper. I had to wipe them off with a tissue, which left me with clouds, whether I wanted it or not.
If you are not doing any techniques with lots of water, then this paper is awesome. The paint spreads well on the paper and doesn't pool. If you use techniques that require more water, then I would stay way from this paper.
This paper is a good cheap option and I will continue to buy and use it for what it's good for. I'll use other papers for wetter applications.

This, like pretty much ALL paper, will bend and warp if you don't have it taped or clamped down. I've been oil painting for over 5 years now and I decided that it was time to mix thing up. Since I hadn't yet dwelled in this media I decided to shoot for whatever was cheap as far as materials go. I know that there is better paper out there, but for the beginner or the hobbyist this is perfectly good paper. Here are a few tips:
-Don't over work the paper! If you aren't free-handing, sketch extremely lightly and keep erasing to a minimum.
-Tape (or clamp with binder clips) the paper down before you start painting!
-YouTube. There are tons of "Paint with Me" and "Watercolor for Beginners" video on YouTube if you want to get in some practice or just do some research.

I hope that helps!

Shipping was quick and item came just as described.

I got what I paid for

April 16, 2016

Size: 9 by 12-InchVerified Purchase

I wanted a lot of 140lb. watercolor paper, and I wanted it to be cheap. I should have paid attention to the other reviewers for this pad. Yes, you get 30 sheets of paper, but they're virtually unusable for wet-in-wet and lifting techniques (both of which are vital to me!). This stuff disintegrates the second you so much as brush up against it with a qtip, and you can forget about incorporating lots of beautiful, watery layers. Guess I got what I paid for.

In the interest of fairness, though, I will say this is probably still good enough for people who just want to add a touch of watercolor to ink drawings or who don't rely on wet-in-wet.

Impressive quality watercolor paper!

March 15, 2016

Size: 9 by 12-InchVerified Purchase

This is really a great value for very nice quality watercolor paper. The size is very nice. The paper surface isn't really textured. It's more smooth surfaced.
This paper is not stark white, more so an eggshell white.
This isn't an overly thick paper either, however, it is thick enough to avoid bleed-through. Depending on the amount of water used in an application, it will warp a little, but that is typical. Taping down the paper defeats issues occurring with warping or curling. Paint application is smooth and consistent. The quantity available in this pad, at this price, is impressive in itself.
I will be purchasing this product, again in the future.
