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

I thought Id try this Canson XL Watercolor Pad because the price was great! And I am so glad I did! This paper holds up wonderfully to lots of water and layers of paint, with no pilling, tearing, ripping or buckling. Its easy to work with and pulls from the binding easily too. I think this paper is great and Im getting the 11x15 pad next! This is worth purchasing!

The paper is just what we needed for school projects for my son. I haven’t tested it on larger amounts of paint but it seems to perfectly do the job.

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

It works great with watercolors but is different to use with gouache

This was my first time buying this type a paper. A true beginner to watercolor painting. Ive used it a few times already and find it easy to work with. Great quality paper, heavy and durable. Easy to paint on without bleeding through. Even after drying that paper is not distorted from my lack of training on how much liquid to use while painting. Will continue to use this paper, as I continue to grow my skills.

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.

Quality is good

This is very good paper for practice. I cut each sheet into four rectangles and do mini sketches with them. The tooth of this paper is smoother than Id like, but still very good. Of course you cant beat the price!

Thought that I was getting the bound one but didn’t. Not their fault but mine. I’m giving four stars because how easy the paper falls out when drawing. It’s so annoying and precisely why I was looking for the bound one

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.
