Greater than one weekNo review needed if you’re in the field. Just buy this paper if you’re a moderate or advanced watercolor artist.

> 3 dayNot as fine of a tooth as I wanted but excellent paper for drawing our for watercolor and being in a block helps it retain a nice stiff surface.

> 3 dayI bought this paper because I wasnt supposed to need to stretch it. Well the block fell apart before I even used it and now anytime I wet it down to use it, the pages peel up and now my pieces are all wrinkled. Very disappointed that I paid so much for this for a college class and it doesnt even stay together. Only giving it 3 stars because the quailty of the paper is decent, it just doesnt stay glued together.

> 3 dayThis is probably the best paper for watercolor and it was much less expensive on Amazon. I love using the block of paper and then separating it after the painting is done. That enables the painting to stay flat and not curl up.

> 3 dayThe best paper AND the best price. I love this paper but the local stores have the price almost double so this is so much better. No hassel shopping for it and the best price anywhere.

> 3 dayI have always used this block. I find that I like the way the paints flow and I have a lot of control with it!!

Greater than one weekWould be the perfect paper except for the black binding holding the pad together. you get an incredibly annoying scraggly plastic black border that you cannot remove unless you trim the edge of the paper... Otherwise I love the paper.

> 3 dayBest all round paper for watercolor painting. Reliable and sturdy. Takes lifting and erasing well. When you find it on sale, stock up!
