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

I have been a professional artist for 45 plus years and this is the best paper value ever. I paint watercolors on 11x15 paper and they fit in a 16x20 mat and frame no now waiting for custom framing. It cost 50 dollars or less and the shop put it all together if I do not have time for an additional 10 dollars. Most people do not have room for larger work so I make my prints fit in the 16x20 pre-cut mats. I do dry mount the paper as all paper buckles up when it gets wet.

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 ordered this watercolor pad for my daughter to use in her painting class at school. The quality was very good and it was just what she needed for school. It arrived well packaged and in good condition. Would definitely recommend.

I almost never write reviews but I felt compelled to do so for this paper. I’ve been doing calligraphy for about a year and bought this recently and it is hands down the best good quality paper I’ve used. Every single ink I own looks great on it, no bleeding or feathering whatsoever with ANY of them. The surface is smooth enough that it doesn’t catch the nibs while still having some texture to it. I absolute would recommend this.

The product picture clearly states 2 pack, however when I ordered two 2 packs based on the picture I only received two pads of the paper. Product is great quality and I’ve been buying the brand for some time, just disappointed in the false image.

Great for beginners. You don’t feel like you’re wasting a lot of money if your art project did not turn out like you planned

Quality is good

It’s a good paper to practice your watercolor techniques. I wouldn’t put a finished piece on this paper. I don’t mind filling it up and throwing it away — no guilt because it’s expensive - it’s a good price point to practice and pitch.

Great low-priced option for beginners and experimenters. However, this pad I received is no good for traveling and storage as the paper was never sealed to the protective cover (see photos) and arrived dented in one corner. Still usable but disappointing.

As a beginner in watercolor, I really like these. they work exactly as expected
