Review on Strathmore 400 Series Watercolor Block, Cold Press, 9x12 Bound - High Quality, 15 Sheets/Block by Kim Sanchez

Great watercolor paper! has adhesive on all four sides), making it economical. I have to say I'm not a fan of Strathmore paper for drawing, but it's great for watercolors. I have done some mixed media with this paper as well as full watercolor paintings. I used Reeves' watercolors for this one, which seems to do the job well. I recently purchased 18 packs of Holbein watercolors so I may come back later and update this review once I've tried them. The colors absorb well, I can pour as much water on the paper as I want without waves or cracks. Although I did peel off some of the glue once (not in the area where it was supposed to be removed). I have some Arches paper that the artist assured me, but I think this paper is better and cheaper. I'm still trying to find a method using arcs, although I haven't found a way yet.
