Review on 🎨 Strathmore 500 Series Watercolor Travel Pad, Wirebound, Cold Press, 3" x 9", 12 Sheets, White - Portable Painting Solution for Artists On-The-Go! by Jessica Lewis

Not worth the money

I don't often leave reviews. But I think I have to leave feedback for other artists. First, I only paint on 100% cotton paper, so I know how cotton paper behaves. I've tried Arches, Heritage CP, HP and Rough, Fabriano CP and HP, Fluid 100 CP and HP, Stonehedge, etc. This Stathmore 500 paper is unlike any other cotton paper I've tried. After drying, the colors look very chalky and dull. Just like Kanson XL. I used art paints. My colors never look chalky or dull on other cotton papers. I'd rather spend a little more for Arches or Stonehenge. Maybe I got a bad batch. I am not sure.

Pros
  • Dope πŸ”₯
Cons
  • Expensive
