Review on πŸ“š Watercolor Paper Bulk: 120 Sheet White Painting Paper Pad for Artists, Art Paper and Drawing Paper for Kids - Ideal for Beginners and Students, 10x7 Inch Size by Hannah Curi

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not as advertised but can be adapted for use as a collage.

I will say that I like the texture of the small dots on one side of the paper and the smooth side is usable too. BUT unfortunately it is NOT as advertised. It is almost as thin as computer printer paper. I've tried using the Daniel Smith watercolors and they look good, but they bend and warp the paper and take quite a while to dry if you want to apply another coat. I've used Masking Fluid and it doesn't come off completely but leaves marks. PILLS: Terrible. It will unroll with any friction when removing masking tape or washi tape, or attempting to lighten the color. Markers will also tear paper with any amount of friction, but making a line and leaving it is fine. Since the paper is taking longer to dry than I'm used to, the marks will blend into each other. So I don't think it's great for kids. I saw some reviews warning about the paper. This is a cheap purchase so I will not be asking for a refund. But I wanted to give a detailed overview to help others decide. I think I'll use it for collage paper to draw, cut and then glue my own pages. It shrinks with water. Colored pencils aren't too bad on it, but then again, the paper is so thin that the pressure of the pen makes dents when you draw on both sides of the paper. Each medium on this paper requires a light touch. I'll leave it positive: It's acid-free. I tested it with the ph handle. So it won't turn yellow. If, like me, you don't mind adapting cheaper stock for multimedia projects or making postcards for family and friends, then $10 for 120 sheets is well spent. Seller: Please change the item description. This is incorrect.
