Review on Amazon Basics Watercolor Pad Sheets by Amber Perez

Revain Basics Watercolor Notebook, 11"x14", 140lb/300gsm, 30 Sheets I had some Arteza watercolor paper so I could paint its pages with Revain Basic watercolor could compare paper. Both are cold-pressed, acid-free, and weigh 140 pounds. 300 gsm Although they share these characteristics, the texture of the paper is very different. The texture of the Revain base block was fine-grained with a smooth surface with virtually no ripples, while the Arteza paper had a rougher surface with more ripples. Here is a picture of two sheets of paper side by side: Arteza paper on the right and Revain Basic paper on the left. When I prepared Revain's base paper by stretching it before use, it stretched perfectly and worked just as well, just a different texture than the Arteza brand.
