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

I am just starting out, exploring the world of water coloring, and this paper seem to me quite competent to address all my needs. Amazon delivered the much anticipated paper in record time.

I wanted a good water color paper for my kids art projects. This year they have ventured into water colors, and being toddlers, literally soak the paper. This paper help up well with minimal warping. Its not completely water proof--my younger son spilled his rinse water on it and it got drenched--but used for its intended purpose, it did very well. Its also inexpensive enough that it makes a good practice paper, or good for toddlers who like to paint 4-5 minute pieces at a time.

This paper was purchased to be used with watercolors by and 8 and 10 year old. It stood up beautifully to large amounts of watery paint and the colors looked nice on there. Each sheet stayed firm and not soggy thanks to the thickness and I would have given it 5 stars except for the price being on the high side.

My go-to watercolor paper for quick paintings for greeting cards.

Great paper, however pad of paper arrived separated from the cover and the paper was bent on one side

I love this water color pad! Good for beginner like me! I am not chasing for professional water color pad but just good enough for my daily drawing interest. Its in good quality with cheap price! worth to buy~

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.

I purchased these watercolor papers, in two different sizes, They were on sale, and they are well worth the money, because each tablet has 30 sheets to a pad. I did a practice sheet, this paper seems to be durable and has enough sizing and binders in it, and the watercolor paper seems to hold up to the water being soaked into the paper really well. The watercolor seems to flow across the paper when activated with water. My biggest problem that I have had with my watercolor experiences is that I have used or purchased cheaper watercolor papers and they dont take the wet media very well, and the papers start to peel. This paper seems to be good quality paper at an affordable price.

Very good quality. Have bought more than once.

Versatile and professional
