BAOHONGArtists' Watercolor Paper Block (20 Sheets, glued on Four Edges), 100% Cotton, Acid-Free, 140LB/300GSM, Watercolor Art Supplies for Wet, Dry, and Mixed Media Painting (Cold Press 16.2"X12.2")

Surprisingly good watercolor paper at a reasonable price. It's a joy to work on--all cotton, thick, good texture, takes colors really well and lifts off to white if you get it while it's still wet. When the paint is dry you can still scrub the colors off somewhat without completely destroying the surface. A seriously good deal.It even shipped with a leaf-shaped plastic tool for slicing the glue edge seal--which is a tad thick so be careful removing the finished painting as it is all too easy to rip the sheet in the process.

Excellent professional grade quality watercolor paper. The pure cotton makes all the difference and water absorbs well into it. It doesn't buckle easy and stays wet for a reasonable time. The roughness is just right in my opinion. Comparable to other top brands but cheaper. Be aware however that it is a block so it's glued all around and not your typical tear away pad. You have to use a knife (or the tool that comes with it) to separate the sheets. I quite like separating my own sheets however, and I like that you can paint straight on the block so that you don't have to tape your paper down and then you can remove the sheet when your painting is dry.

This was a sample pack, and I I am enjoying this paper. Not finished with it yet.

I love the texture of this paper!It’s excellent quality paper for watercolor painting.I notice that the pigments of artist grade watercolors stay vibrant and as saturated as you want them to be.The paper holds up to a lot of layering and water.I’m particularly pleased with it not having a detectable repeated pattern in the texture of the paper.Great for granulating colors. A real pleasure to use.This smaller size fits in my watercolor painting box. Wonderful little block of paper.And it is 100% cotton, which is important for watercolor painting.

really awesome paper the colour flows perfectly
