Review on Canson 100511158 XL Series Watercolor Paper Bulk Pack for Wet and Dry Media, 90lb, 9x12, 500 Sheets by Carla Anderson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great paper for students and classes, but fairly light

I forgot how light 90 lb paper is, but it's a lot lighter than I expected. It's great for hand lettering and fairly light washes. I haven't noticed much pilling and it takes color well. However, attempting to work wet-on-wet or mixing multiple layers of paint can result in warping. Even after it was reduced to a smaller size and sealed with duct tape, there was still quite significant deformation. This is great practice and student work at an amazing price.

Pros
  • Good for mixing wet and dry materials
Cons
  • Not sure
