Review on Legion Stonehenge Watercolor 140Lb L21 SQC140WH1014 by Summer Hendricks

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great surface for painting, bad for covering

I really like drawing on this paper. It absorbs a lot of water, stays dry and has just the right texture which I like. Then I peeled off the masking tape and covered a whole layer of paper with it. This is artist tape, the same one I used for my other watercolor paper, which is a (relatively) cheap pad from BLICK. Before sticking, I re-tacked the tape to the jeans multiple times to keep it from being so sticky, I used a hair dryer to peel it off, but it still pulled out a whole layer of paper. If anyone has managed to mask this, I'd like to know how. That's why I give 3 stars. If you are painting edge to edge this is a fantastic paper for the price. But if, like me, you like to mask the edges, it's basically useless unless I have another trick. Disappointing.

Pros
  • Handmade specifically for watercolor painters, this durable and textured backing is the latest in craft paper creation
Cons
  • There are even more interesting options.
