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

Love this paper. The pages are sturdy, you can wet them a lot without it bowing. Really nice paper for the money. Its very smooth too.

Buena calidad y linda textura para un papel de celulosa. Es mucha cantidad de papel a un buen precio. Ideal para practicar mucho y reservar papeles más caros

I love this product! The paper is strong and sturdy and keeps the paint color looking bright and vibrant. I have tried water color on regular paper and it absorbed so much water and became rough. That does not happen with this paper. Also this is such a good price! Will definitely keep buying this brand.

My daughter needed this for art class. Its a decent sketch book. Good for students.

Very good watercolor papers! Very sturdy, and good color absorption. I learned to stretch the paper, and the result is amazing!

This product came recommended to use with children water colors, and it did not disappoint. Each page tares off the tablet easily and appropriately does not absorb the water color. We have also used it with other art projects that included glue and glitter, again there was no leaks or seep throughs. I would highly recommend this product for all of your arts and craft needs.

I like these a lot more than the Swarthmore ones. Plus it’s relatively inexpensive. (I don’t really know what I’m doing when it comes to watercolor, but it can take a lot of water and still resemble paper so A+)

Great for beginners and experts alike. Reasonably priced, good quality. I will buy it again.

I like the size this paper offers, and if I need it to be smaller its easy to cut down into two equally convenient pieces. The paper is pretty good for its price point and I can see myself buying more when this pad runs out. Its not great for travel given the size, but it makes up for that with the easy release of paper from the pad leaving no glue residue along one side unlike some other pads Ive used. The texture feels like a mix of hot and cold press making fine detail easy without forgoing the texture watercolor paper is known for. Im not sure how it holds the test of time but I guess well have to see. Ive included a picture because Amazon seems to think I cant post this review without one.

Overall, this paper is great for the price. Certainly not the best watercolor paper around, but if you are doing a lot of painting (not professionally) and expect to probably end up scrapping a lot of it, this is the stuff to use. Its a little thin (but not super thin) so it will warp/curl a little after getting wet and drying, but nothing crazy. Generally, I use this to paint on, then scan into photoshop, so it works well for me!
