Review on 🎨 Premium Watercolor Paper Pad, 8.3 x 11.7”. 15 Sheets, 300 GSM, Cold Pressed - Ideal for Watercolor Pens & Water Based Art by Kristen Reid

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Subtle but a bit odd

So I usually expect my cold press paper to have a certain type of teeth. This paper. one side feels like a hot press and the other side (which appears to be the back as it is in the pad?) has TOO STRONG texture - like it's weird. That being said it's thick enough not to warp if you get really wet, it works well as hot press paper - I just did. Do not use hot press paper. The over-textured side is pretty fun for effects, but it's also over-textured for most of my work. So, all in all, if you like really smooth (or very rough) watercolor paper, this will be great for you - for me, it's probably not something I'd get again.

Pros
  • Reduced absorbency and improved texture allow for longer blending and cleaning.
Cons
