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

Not the best, but good enough. If you use a lot of water on each layer, this will easily start to peel. Take your time and add small amounts of water for each layer and you wont have any problems. I really love the texture of this paper. Its textured enough, but not so much that it stands out.

I use this with water color pencils, primarily, although I sometimes use water color paints. I also like this paper for various other media. If you want great paper for Water Color Paints, buy 100% cotton. There are several good brands available which dont cost an arm and a leg, however, for my professional work, I use the pricey stuff! This is good for many other uses, however. If you are a beginner water color painter buy the more expensive 100% cotton papers. You will learn more; have a better experience; and, be much happier. I would not recommend this for serious watercolorists.

Im a professional watercolor artist and have used all the best paper out there. Arches, Hahnemuhle, Baohong...all have their quirks. This paper is no different. Its not cotton but it works. This little line and wash I did behaved quite well. Im enjoying the paper. It just might be good enough to handle a commission or 2. I ordered the 2 pack but only received one. I hope the seller makes it right. The paper gets 5 stars, the seller...not.

This is such a thick, sturdy paper for watercolor. Great quality and love the way it is easy to tear from the rest of the package without ripping the paper itself. We have had great results with this paper.

The product is great but the shipping department should have used a larger box because the paper was bent (in order to fit in the box). I was able to straighten some of it out but it still has a curve to it.

I love how cheap it is for jow big it is. Its intimidating but I cut off sections to use. Its definitely big but its so cheap!

I cut the paper up and use it for my water coloring cards, its PERFECT. I got my package the other day and man this is truly my favorite thing to do is water color. Its such a great price, in the stores they are asking for 10 to 12 for a packet, rather support my seller here on Amazon. Thanks for keeping the price soooo low.

Ive bought this product a couple of times. It works great for watercolor. Since Im just a beginner and havent been painting long, I dont really have much to compare it with, but I think its great for the value and does the job for someone who just paints as a hobby.

Purfect. I am a beginner.

Takes water well, color applies true to value while still allowing sharp lines. Not sure how long the color will last.. I like it. This size might be a bit large to travel with.
