Review on 🎨 Canson Plein Air Watercolor Art Board Pad: Set of 10 Boards, 8x10 Inch for Watercolor, Ink, Gouache, and Acrylic by Jennifer Roberts

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Does not lay flat

Surface characteristics OK. Looks like a medium strength cold press. However, I was quite disappointed that they didn't stay flat even with a light wash. After drying, they do not flatten out like some types of paper. The tendency to bulge is so strong that the tape ripped out when tightening. When stretching and moistening the tape, I only use high quality paper. I've had better luck with Β£300 papers like Arches, Fabriano and especially Stonehenge because they stayed flat on the Plein easel.

Pros
  • Cold pressed French formed paper works great in any humid environment
Cons
  • Can't remember
