Review on Legion Stonehenge Watercolor 140Lb L21 SQC140WH1014 by Denise Davis

As a die-hard Arches user, I can't sell any other watercolor papers. But I have to say that this is definitely my second favorite paper and it actually has several advantages over Arches. Legion Stonehenge Aqua Cold Pressed is a SUPER bright white paper that really makes the colors pop. It's even whiter than the bright white version of the Arches. The Legion also has a smoother finish than the Arches, which some see as an advantage. However, I REALLY believe that quality watercolor paper is all about preference. Legion paper is very bright white, smooth, the fibers absorb more water and ink and therefore dry faster than Arches. This is a very different paper than Arches, but I can get very similar results.
