Review on Art1St Watercolor Paper 140 Sheets by Jamie Rausch

All the beaver time of the day! A month in isolation does not pass without a trace and does not affect in the best way. You can’t buy normal paper offline, on the Internet everything close to normal is either sold out quickly, or it costs incomparably more. This paper is from the "approximate normal" category. I'll tell you why as I go along. I bought it on wildberry - there these two folders go together as one product, which for me, who is in need of paper, is very, very good. Because even such paper is sold out very quickly. The paper is produced by Hatber - I already wrote a review on another of its papers, but of a lower density. Here the density is higher - as much as 220 g/m2. But the texture of the paper is different - there is graininess. All this is shown on the front cover. Each folder contains 20 sheets. Together for both - 240 rubles. Well ... tolerable, given the high density. About paper. She's really grainy. Feels so rough and rough to the touch. I do not like this kind of paper, it is unpleasant to touch it. But there was nothing better than this... For comparison: the rough texture of paper with grain and the coated smoothness of paper from the last review The sheets differ even in color: The paper from the last review is whiter. Density is also visually visible: The friability of the grained paper (on the left) is visible even through the "cut" - some shreds are visible. Well, in drawing it is not very convenient. I mainly paint with watercolors and when the color is washed out with water, the paper starts to roll. Bigger plan. If you look closely, you can see rolls of paper. And nothing can be done with them, only if you manually remove ... However, even if you apply paint thickly and do not particularly pour water, spools still form. But on dark, dense colors it is less noticeable. Yes, I have recently become very fond of drawing gas masks)) The atmosphere has such an effect. In general, the paper is not the worst - the best option among those available both in price and quality. Too bad they sell out so fast... Recommended if nothing else.
