Zen Sangam Express your Mind Artists 300 Gsm Cold Pressed A5 Rough Grain Surface Glued Watercolor Sketch Paper Pad Book(14.8X21Cm)-24 Sheets

Opened the booklet up and noticed immediately that both corners arrived damaged. Upon opening the cover, the adhesive broke and the top page fell out. I gently opened other pages and could hear and see the adhesive breaking, and the cover came off completely, leaving a stack of barely glued together pages.I decided to try out the page that fell out of the book and was unhappy with the amount of warping after totally normal use. For being advertised for gouache, a water activated paint, the paper doesn’t take on water very well. Can also see indentation on the back side of the pages. Really disappointing quality.

Really nice A3 size big papers ,rough texture and fine finishing. Loving it .highly recommend under this budget.

Love the affordability and sizes this paper has to offer. Gouache lays down perfectly on it and stays very true to color, No fading or color shifts. I’m still a beginner but for the price alone I recommend trying a pad of it. I really love it.

I recently purchased the Zen Sangam Express your Mind Zen Sangam Artists’ Bookmark Gouache Glued Sketch Paper Pad, and I am thoroughly impressed with its quality and versatility. As an avid artist who enjoys gouache painting, I found this sketch pad to be an excellent choice for several reasons.High-Quality Paper:The 300 GSM cold-pressed paper is fantastic for gouache painting. It holds the paint well without warping or bleeding through, even with multiple layers. The rough grain surface adds a lovely texture to the artwork, enhancing the overall look and feel.Perfect Size:The 18x5cm size is unique and convenient. It’s ideal for creating bookmarks, mini paintings, or even quick sketches. The compact size makes it easy to carry around, fitting perfectly in a handbag or backpack, allowing me to paint and sketch wherever I go.Durable Binding:The glued binding is sturdy and holds the sheets together securely. I appreciate that the pages tear off cleanly without any damage, making it easy to share or frame my work.Versatile Use:While it’s perfect for gouache, I’ve also used it with watercolors, pencils, and ink, and the results are equally impressive. The paper’s durability and texture make it suitable for various mediums, adding to its versatility.Value for Money:With 24 sheets in a pad, this product offers great value for its price. The quality of the paper combined with the number of sheets makes it a worthwhile investment for any artist.Overall, I highly recommend the Zen Sangam Artists’ Bookmark Gouache Glued Sketch Paper Pad to both beginners and experienced artists. Its excellent paper quality, convenient size, and versatility make it a must-have in any artist’s toolkit.

I loved the product the packaging the quality evrything

It's is small in size and is value for money according to the texture and thickness of the paper it is bleed proof and the colour accuracy is good on paper . But the paapera are not glued properly and comes out one by one making it less of a sketh pad and lose sheets more. I have got all papers out as I try to draw something on it. Its sturdy you can use it in both sides design is simple and texture is hard and rough.

Pros: - paper is really thick. 300 GSM as mentioned and nothing is visible on the other side even when you use thin water colours - sizes are appropriate to make a personalized (non-foldable) gift card- square shapes are perfect for a wonderful effect – much better than rectangular sizes - combo of 3 pads is a good deal compared to other individual ones - you can very easily and cleanly tear the sheets - looks cute and clean - there was a free bookmark which they didn't even mention anywhere!Cons (just for the sake of putting it here, otherwise it's all good): - paper is really high quality. Maybe you can do with a lesser quality also (~200 GSM?!) if you're just casually painting or learning to paint. But for me, it was still a good deal price-wise!- sizes are exactly as mentioned but not as big as I imagined them to be. Even the largest one is quite small for a wall-hung painting. So make sure you're not expecting something big- it's just paper as described but perhaps they could innovate and include some matching-sized clear envelops to store the paintings in (of course with additional/separate cost)

Good paper
