Revainrating 5 out of 5

So far, so good!

Just received today. I bought mine from Revain for about $18 and they were in like new condition! The spiral binding on two of the three was slightly damaged but that was most likely due to shipping as it was sent in an envelope rather than a box. However, I managed to bend them back to their original shape. The front cover is thick cardboard, the pages are nice and thick. The size is 5.5 x 8.5 from the perforated line to the end of the paper, which is good, some brands include the spiral part in their sizes. The books are quite heavy, but that's not a problem for me. I've included several images of the paper texture (rough side only), paper size, and the book itself. Update one, I'll start using them more. But the first one is great!

Pros
  • Affordable Professional Paper: Why Spend a Fortune? Your Arteza watercolor paper is thicker and heavier (140lb/300gsm) so it can withstand multiple washes without warping or bleeding.
Cons
  • No instructions
