Canson XL Series Watercolor Textured Paper Pad for Paint, Pencil, Ink, Charcoal, Pastel, and Acrylic, Fold Over, 140 Pound, 9x12 Inch, , 30 Sheets

I bought this for my 10 years old daughter to practice watercolor painting. It was her first interaction with watercolor. The papers are of the exact dimensions as indicated, and capable to absorb a lot of water. Although it not usually done, considering the economy, my daughter painted both sides of the paper not spoiling either side. Papers a re bonded with glue to form a kind of a pad, but very easily detachable after of before painting. The surface is rough enough for the brush strokes of a beginner, however I feel this is good enough even for the mid level watercolor lovers.

Bring your ART to the next level by using the BEST TOOLS out there, and in this case it is at the very start by using the VERY BEST PAPER OUT THERE, WHICH IS CANSONS WATER COLOR PAPER. I have tried to save money, by trying ALL of the lesser cost Books of WC Paper, but kept finding myself going back to the SAME ONE ! & that is CANSONS WATER COLOR PAPER and now that I have become successful in my ART Endeavors I can trace the exact time when it ALL fell into place...… that is when I Started using CANSONS WATER COLOR PAPER and stayed with it, I do not buy and sample other types anymore, I just stay with what works, and has proven to be the BEST for me, try it, and you will find it will see why I claim this to be TRUE! Hope you all have has much success as I did. [I ADDED ONE OF MY PICTURES]

Awesome, its my go-to. basic and simple 10/10 would buy again

Me han gustado mucho y los he comprado varias veces, son de muy buena calidad y muy buen costo.

GREAT for ink, mediocre for watercolor I use this paper for ink drawings; the paper has the perfect amount of tooth and texture. Inking on bristol board is ok but the ink doesnt grip the paper as well as using XL watercolor paper. Its definitely not the best quality paper for actual watercolor work, but it suits my purposes fine.

This is great for watercolors! The paper is thick enough that it doesn’t leak thru and the paper absorbs the colors really nicely without running into other colors but also thin enough that it doesn’t feel bulky. Great for beginners getting into watercolors. Makes you want to keep painting! I’ve purchased 3 of these already in the past year I’d say.

I was hopeful this medium priced watercolor paper wouldnt warp and would have more of a texture. It is okay for beginners but theres better watercolor paper out there for beginners. I dont like how you have to work the paper back and forth to get it loose enough to get out of the binder; it rips very easy.

First time using a fold over watercolor pad and I love it, the paper did bend a bit as I was painting on it but not to much once it dried. Canson is the only brand I found so far that doesnt come with just 12 sheets but 30, not to mention its a decent price. Personally I would buy this one more often rather then the other brands that offer less sheets for similar or higher price.

Great paper for a beginner or intermediate watercolorist! Can’t beat the price. I’ve been doing watercolor for 10 years, and teach several watercolor classes. This is the paper I use for my students and they love it!

It works really cool
