Review on 🎨 Baohong Watercolor Paper Sample Pack - 7x5, 100% Cotton, 140lb/300gsm - 20 Sheets (6xTextured Cold Press, 2xHot Press, 12xRough) by Amanda Castillo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great sample pack

Just to clarify this is a sample pack rating - 4 stars. The pattern pack mainly contains Academy Rough Paper (12 pcs) and Academy Cold Press (4 pcs). Cold press artist and hot press 2 pcs. I wish there were more artist papers and a full set of hot, cold, and draft academy and artist papers. While Baohong releases his paper as 100% cotton for Academy & Artist, the experience is very different. than most 100% cotton brands I've tried. If you like textured paper, you'll love Baohong. I personally like rough paper for big strokes with minimal detail. It gives a wonderful texture to the picture. Detail painting is more suitable for CP Academy, as it is less structured. The paper patterns are 5x7 and will flex a lot even when applied with tape. Due to the paper's thickness and texture, soiling is possible on both sides - if you don't mind the paper's curl (does not fully even out after many days of stacking under heavy books). In summary: This is a great example. pack to familiarize yourself with paper. My experience with paper is a very personal choice. The problem of warping can be solved with a watercolor block.
