Review on MEEDEN 5X7" Watercolor Paper Textured Surface Pad, Cold Pressed, 20 Sheets (140lb/300gsm) Art Sketchbook for Painting & Drawing, Wet, Mixed Media by Lori Aguirre

This is a great paper, super smooth (high class hot pressing). I quickly drew a tree and then applied several layers of paint to the back of the paper. The paper holds up well to many layers as long as you don't pour too much water on it and work quickly (because it dries very quickly). It has a beautiful light ivory tone. I am very happy with this paper. I also like the weight of the paper and it's firmly attached to the sides although there is a hole on the top to lift it, be aware that water can get in there as it's quite a large hole. On the other hand, if you use too much water when layering, it will start to fall apart and deform a lot, even if it's pinned to the sides, it can only hold a certain amount of water, so you have to find that amount and then you'll become that paper be very satisfied.
