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

I was so surprised how much I loved the quality of this paper. Very thick and sturdy. Takes color well. This might be my new go to paper over Strathmore which is what I usually buy. Good value too. Would highly recommend for artists.

Great item

Obviously, the edges will curl a little as you paint, but it can easily be flattened out. I have the fold over option and the pages are already coming off the binding, but that’s fine with me since I don’t intend to keep them all together in the book anyways. Overall, it’s what I wanted

The paper is great for beginner watercolor artists . It is good with absorbing water and didnt flake when I used wet on wet techniques.

You will not find cheaper, better watercolor paper. Is it the most premier watercolor paper on the planet? No. Will it stand up to a light wash and multiple layers? Absolutely. No buckling or bleeding for everyday watercolor tasks, I would highly recommend this both for practicing and for beginners to use with their first real works. The paper is cheap and easy to work with, and is also suited for mixed media. Great paper.

Thick, heavyweight stock can withstand the most vigorous and enthusiastic child artists! Easy to cleanly tear off a new sheet so there is no waste. The pad is portable but we plan on using it primarily at home.

Great value.

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.

This isnt the best watercolor paper by far - it doesnt hold enough water, it isnt very thick, and it is difficult to lift colors off of the paper, but it is extremely inexpensive. Out of all the budget watercolor papers out there, this one is my favorite. This is true for its quality (those negative things I said earlier are true for any budget watercolor paper) and because it is also SO much less expensive than other budget watercolor papers. The only issue is that you need to learn how to use the paper and develop techniques to make it work for you, which can take some time, but this is true for any paper. In my opinion, this is the best budget watercolor paper out there.

Very good quality. Have bought more than once.
