5.0 out of 5 stars It compares well with the most expensive paper
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2024
I paint and occasionally teach watercolor painting. This is my "go-to" paper for students and me alike. I recently demonstrated on the most expensive paper and had a student practice on it as well. Neither of us considered the 100% cotton paper noticeably or significantly better than this product. It may be a personal preference or the techniques you use that make a difference. I assume, for example, you cannot scrub this paper as much without damaging the surface, but that isn't something I do or encourage my students to do. My recommendation is to purchase this paper and see if it meets your needs. If you don't like it you can always use it for quick studies, greeting cards, or experimenting with color swatches. I think you will find it works well and is a bargain.

I make a lot of cards and this is a good choice for a paper that doesn't cost a lot but works pretty well for watercolor cards.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hot or cold?
Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2024
I couldn't decide between hot press, and cold press, so I got both!
Hot press has less texture but can be more controlled, and sometimes that's what you want when creating.
Cold press has a lot of texture and more 'bleed' or 'flow', which is also sometimes what you prefer.
The paper is a great quality and arrived very quickly.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent for Watercolor Beginners
Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2023
This paper is great for beginner learners, especially to learn technique. It's also thick enough to be great for wet painting, as the paper absorbs water but doesn't break down under constant use. Obviously, Arches is some of the best out there for wet painting and more experienced painters, but if you're on a budget or just want to practice, the quality of the paper and how much you get in this notebook is great.

I'd definitely purchase again, even if for casual practice and learning.

I paint watercolor. I only use this paper. I’ve tried other brands. Nope. Only Canson for me. This paper allows me to work beautifully with large washes, fine detail, and lovely blending and lifting. This paper is economical. If you’re still unsure, give this paper a try. You’ll love it.

For such expensive paper, they should have packaged it better than in an envelope. Now every page is damaged, so I will have to size down my paintings. Not my money's worth.

Edit: Amazon sent me a replacement and this one has no damages. Thank you, Amazon!

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2024
This watercolor sketchbook has been a hit with my child! The paper quality is excellent, providing a smooth surface for their paintings, and the thickness is just right, ensuring durability without being too bulky. My child loves the feel of it, and we're onto our second book already. It's definitely a favorite for our budding artist！
