Review on Hahnemuhle Watercolor 8 3X5 8 Inches Portrait by Sasha Hsiao

I've heard good things about Hahnemühle paper and when I bought it a few months ago I thought of the description said 100% cotton. maybe I was wrong. I like to use watercolor sketchbooks for practice, but I really prefer cotton pads, which are hard to come by. I prefer not to leave bad reviews but this is not for the experienced watercolorist used to painting on cotton. It doesn't work well with watercolor layers in general. I notice that the dry painting looks glossy in some places I've layered, even using different brands of professional grade watercolor paints (never before). I got the middle and end of the book out with glue seeping through the binding so the paper is sticky and looks a little torn when I turn the page. If you have been drawing for a long time and are used to cotton paper, I do not recommend this. I think it's ok for travel, quick pranks, pen and wash, urban sketching, maybe gouache painting. The only thing I like is that it has many pages, although I'm not sure I'll finish it.
