Review on 🎨 Arteza Watercolor Art Paper Foldable Canvas Pad, 7x8.6 Inches, 20 Sheets, Acid-Free Heavyweight Pad, 140lb/300 GSM, Art Supplies for Painting & Mixed Media Art by Kelsey Brown

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Ideal for simple watercolor drawings and mixed media.

I like Arteza products because they are cheap and of good quality. I bought the panels because I thought it would be a nice idea to give as a gift or just to display my art. The paper is thick and can withstand a lot of water with minimal deformation. I was also able to use colored pencils after more than 3 washes without tearing the paper. My main gripe with this product is that the paper dries too quickly, making techniques like wet-on-wet difficult. I've included a painting I drew in Kirsty Partridge's watercolor class. I'm happy with the overall result as it was just practice, but I'll try again on 100% cotton paper. I would say that these boards are best suited for simple watercolor drawings.

Pros
  • Adhesive Pad: Each perforated sheet of cold-pressed watercolor paper peels away easily from the pad, allowing you to start painting and displaying your work right away.
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
