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

Is this professional grade paper? No, but it is slightly above beginner. Has a good thickness and weight--i use a LOT of water, so i have to tape my paper down to the table while I paint to help with the warping and bowing of paper. But regardless if you use a little or a lot of water, this is still a good paper.

Im a beginner painter so I wasnt looking for anything super fancy. This paper is thick and works great with my watercolors. The pages come out really easy so if you are looking for something bound better this wont do, however it works great for me since I like to rip out the pages anyway. Its also great bc the big pages are easy to cut for smaller paintings and work for larger ones as well.

I received this as an add on item at a great bargain. That really excited me, because I was going to buy at Michaels last week and it would have cost me three times as much. The paper is great quality and perfect size. It is only glued on one side, so you will need to stretch it and tape it down to a watercolor board or surface to use for best results. It also is nice paper to use for Prismacolor colored pencils and markers as well. I am very satisfied with yet another great Canson paper.

I have tried others but really like this watercolor paper the best. All around good quality paper at a good price. The price fluctuates, so I check back to see when the price goes down. Try it!

Love it it does what it is supposed to do and it sturdy and thick. If strecked it doesnt warp bad and I can ise as much water as needed. It warped without any tape but with it is pretry flat. A++ If using a strong masking tape it will peal off a thin layer of paper that is barely visible. I love it as a beginner and doing art for fun.

The best paper money can buy

Great product for beginners that dont want to spend the high price for higher quality water color paper like Arches.

I loved using this for my watercolor work...I hope the paper was a little more absorbent...but this is great for the price I paid...found cheaper here as compared to Michaels and other art supply stores

The paper is smoother than what I had been using, it sucks up water like crazy and buckles in the same pattern every time. Also, after taking the third sheet of paper, the cover and back separated from the entire pad.

Its not luxurious, nor is it 100 percent cotton, but it gets the job done if youre new to watercolor and make plenty of mistakes. Nice and thick too, so it will take more than a few layers of paint. Ive used this brand for years.
