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

Thick and has a nice tooth to it. I have used oil pastels, Inktense pencils, water soluble oil pastels all with great result. Canson is my go-to brand for art pads. I like thier 60 page mixed media 14x17 pad too.

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]

great product for using with water color or alcohol inks

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.

It’s the best sketchbook for the beginners and it works for every medium such as pencil, colored pencils and watercolor. I’m very satisfied with this purchase and looking forward to use it in the future as well. I can not use other paper now but this sketch book is just amazing. Highly recommended this product :)

I love this product!! As a beginner I found it really overwhelming trying to get good quality supplies that weren’t a fortune and this watercolor paper really exceeded my expectations. While it is not the best quality you will find it is great for beginners and is amazing considering the price!

Sin problemas

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.

Outside cover is a little rough around the edges and torn. Was going to be a gift, but dont want to give in that condition. It really depends on who the recipient is. The product behind the cover is probably fine, but the appearance is not great.

Okay so far i have just used this one time and not even for probably the standard use, so take this review for what its worth to you. I was looking to print and frame something from my home printer however it was turning out horribly on regular printer paper. I remembered i had just purchased this watercolor paper, cut it to size and VOILA... So much better! The colors are more vivid, the picture is way clearer, and it looks more like a real painting.
