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

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

I buy this paper often. I use it for fashion illustrations while using Copic Markers and watercolors. It works great for both! My only issue is that watercolor paint makes this paper wrinkle a tad, but not so much so that I cant continue to paint or draw. I mainly use Copic Markers so this paper works perfectly for that!

Perfect for kids and adults. Heavy paper that is very absorbent so when the kids go heavy on the water in watercolors the paper holds up really well.

My favorite paper. It arrived damaged (corners bent and cover with 8 rip). Its textured just enough and allows you to build color without wearing out. Watercolor blends nicely on the paper. Other than the poor packing/shipping, I would recommend and buy again.

I am a total raw beginner, so this is fine for my first watercolor pad. The dimensions are good for me as Im not looking for too much white space to fill up. Spiral binding is very nice to hold everything together. This paper is definitely an upgrade from the mixed media pad I mistakenly first picked up. I am getting better lay down of color with this paper, and not too much pooling with wet on wet, but I am still dealing with warping and minor buckling issues. This may be fine watercolor paper if you are using watercolor pencils with lots of detail work and limited saturation, but it will not take heavy wet on wet work.

Great drawing and painting paper!!

I purchased this as a gift. I thought the value for price was great. I compared several different art pads and this brand had options that were less expensive and seemed more reasonable for casual art use. When it arrived it felt sturdy and of good quality. As it was a gift, I didn’t use it, so cannot speak to that.

Good to my work Nice price

The paper is very thick and it great quality for the cheap price. I have only used a little of it because I’m water coloring small things, but when I run out I am definitely going to buy this again. -Grace M

Great purchase. Thick paper and good size for both kids and family.
