Review on 🎨 2 Pack of 9 x 12 Watercolor Paper Pads - Cold Press, 140lb/300gsm, Fold Over Design - Ideal for Watercolor Paintings by Denise Davis

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not very good paper for transparent watercolor

I've tried many brands of budget watercolor paper over the years and this paper gets a rating of around a 4 when the sheets are a 10. The pigment also doesn't spread well wet-on-wet or wet-on-dry. The texture feels hotter than cold. Because I was working with budget paper before I could manipulate the colors the way I wanted after struggling with it. I will try to use this paper for gouache or alcohol markers but not for transparent watercolor. With watercolors, good paper will do.

Pros
  • Arts, Crafts and Sewing
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
