Review on 🎨 Yupo Paper Stonehenge Aqua Block Coldpress Pad 9x12 10 Sheets - White 300lb: High Quality Watercolor Paper for Artists by Sasha Hsiao

Revainrating 4 out of 5

My first 300 lb paper

I took this notebook for a painting I was doing for a friend not knowing it weighed 300 lbs but boy am I glad it did i did it It has withstood countless washes, fusses, repeated touches, excessive water use, etc. and hasn't warped at all. I'm a beginner and I got the hell out of this paper because I didn't quite understand what I was doing and it has held up really well. The only thing I don't recommend is using a scrubber. The paper curls even with very careful use. I resorted to an old cheap brush that's softer for every lift I've had to do. After a few days of abuse, this paper was still remarkably intact. I really appreciate the glued pages and removing the sheet was easy with the tool I got with the other pad of paper (it's so thick that calling it a "sheet" seems like a misnomer) . Still, it doesn't blend as well as Arches, but what paper will do? Whatever the case, the Stonehenge aquablock withstood my dealings with the bull in the china shop and came out ready for framing. (Real artists around the world cringe after reading this.)
