Review on ๐ŸŽจ Leda Art Supply Cold Pressed Watercolor Pad 2 Pack - 48 Pages, 300gsm - Italian Art Paper, A4 Size (8.25 x 11.5 inches), Slightly Textured for Classic Techniques by Aquarium Biggs

Nice paper but you won't get 48 sheets

Firstly I have a lot of watercolor pads and I've never seen one sold as a page. Books are sold by the page, sheets are sold as sheets. If you buy a pack of 500 "pages" of carbon paper but realize it's actually 250 sheets of paper because they expect you to use both sides, you won't be happy with that either. But enough of that on paper. Many write about it in their reviews, but I don't see it. The paper is normal, but the surface is not strong at all. Even the tape tore the surface when I used it to seal and forgot about the regular masking tape. The same goes for masking fluid. It was a disaster that took a lot of watercolor to fix. The same goes for trying to lift or clean. The surface of the paper emerges almost immediately. I agree it handles water with surprisingly little kinking. So I think if you never use liquid concealer, lifting or edge trimming this will suit you. But for the price there is better paper out there in my opinion.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Neutral
