Review on Winsor Newton Classic Watercolor Pressed by Carrie Spencer

Wow! I am very impressed with this watercolor notebook from WN! I've only tried two sheets but I can say I really like the paper! I believe the scattered full size leaves should be even better quality. In any case, this paper is almost like painting on canvas. :) I think it's close to a toilet rag! As a bonus, the sheets are perforated. If I wanted to paint something with more water, I peeled off the paper and attached it to a backing board (coroplast) to prevent warping. This paper has a very nice texture and velvety texture, yet is strong enough for editing/color enhancement. It can also function like paper with a rough surface. So I think painting a coastline for example can give great results - small areas of white paper left uncovered look like sparkles/highlights. The color looks and stays nice and vibrant. For me one of the best World Cup newspapers! (Please keep the price affordable and reasonable now, ok! :)) I also appreciate that it arrived quickly, well packaged and in brand new condition. Thanks very much!
