    Great paper at this price point

    Great paper at this price point
    This is really good watercolor paper for the price. It is not cotton and so there are differences in its performance compared to cotton, but it is still extremely workable. And personally for some watercolor effects I find non cotton papers preferable. Shhh, don’t tell lol. Things I especially like about this paper (other than the price point) are the color (it is a brighter white than some brands), that it has a relatively smooth surface for incorporating dry media and that it is quite sturdy. Things that I dislike are the size of this pad, 11”x15” is one inch over the commonly frameable 11”x14” size and that makes it a bit inconvenient. It either must be taped off to 11”x14” or you’ll end up having to pay much more to frame your finished pieces, so you may want to keep that in mind before starting a painting. It’s not a huge deal but I find it very odd that it is this size. another issue is that the glue used for these blocks is not the best. I have yet to paint a painting on it without any buckling, which is the whole point of a block lol, but I still manage to work around that as most buckling can be easily fixed afterwards. I recommend taping around the edges and down the sides if you can to secure it better. I’d love to give this paper a 5 because I do really love it and work on it extensively. But because of the odd sizing and the not so great glue a 4 feels more fair. I’ve added a photo and video of my most recent painting done on this paper. I hope it’s helpful to see.

    5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite
    Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2019
    I’ve been using this block for at least six years now. It’s my favorite for the texture, size and price! I use it for my more traditional art pieces but lately it’s my main go to for my online comic which has a sillier style. I divide the 11x15 page into three strips, making each strip the perfect size for scanning. Very rarely have I ever had a problem in quality and I tend to beat the poop out of my paper by overworking the sheets, accidentally falling asleep and drooling all over them, putting a lot of layers even of non watercolor materials. This paper is my dream team all on its own. I can also put guache on top for any corrections, it takes to color pencil really well, even alcohol based markers, white gel pens, and India ink.

    Be careful with your pens though, as you should always be because of the texture of the paper. I highly recommend ballpoint pens or dipping pens only after painting. So that there’s a little bit more smoothness and depending on the quality of your ink and watercolors, to prevent any fading of your ink.

    Happy Arting my friends!
