I am pretty much a novice water-colorist, although I have painted with acrylics for more than 40 years. This canvas material is very much lighter/thinner than standard watercolor paper. It is primed, which is good, and it is clearly a textile product rather than a paper product, approximately the weight of the fabric in a chambray work shirt. It tears along it's grain line like cloth. For watercolor I found that the side of the canvas used makes a difference in the result. Painting on the smooth side [which is the back side relative to how it is bound in the pad] results in the paint immediately sinking in and not moving or altering with additional manipulation. On the slightly rough [top] side paint behaves more like standard watercolor. This seems backward, but it's how it's working!I will continue using this canvas for some experiments and exercises and I'm sure I will enjoy using it. I may also experiment with mixed media projects with the canvas, since it seems like it would be very adaptable to stitch, ink-tense, resists, collage, gel plate printing and other techniques.
