Review on JujuBean Sales Sketch Paper: Ultimate Calligraphy Kit with Decorative Washi Tape and High-Quality Sketch Paper by Amy Mcleod

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Suitable for pen and ink but too light for brush and watercolor

You will receive 25 sheets of 10.5 x 15 inch light gray paper. This is a lightweight paper - 160gsm (equivalent to about 43lbs according to the paper weight conversion website). It's much lighter than most watercolor papers. It curls and warps very easily when you try to paint with watercolors (even with tape). The paint is very easy to remove even after drying. Since the sheet of paper is a lot bigger than I usually use, I cut it out with a cutting board. The paper left fragments and didn't have clean edges due to the paper being pressed (confirmed by the fact that I simply cut out another brand of watercolor paper and got clean edges). Since it's advertised for calligraphy, I used a pen. Ink absorbs well, but brush calligraphy has the same problems as watercolor. There were also two rolls of decorative washi tape, 15mm.

Pros
  • Best
