Review on 🎨 Canson XL Series Watercolor Pad, 1 Pack: Vibrant Multicolor Sheets for Artists by Carl Ferguson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Takes color well. No color fading.

Colors will NOT fade. Here's a comparison and bias against Canson as the Fluid paper is heat pressed and 100% cotton. I used Schminke Horadam colors. I have three colors from Kremer (also pots) and one of the Indigo samples - Holbein (tube). Judging by the fading and piling up of complaints from other reviewers, it looks like the size has gone and they got a bad batch. I would verify who the seller was for these reviews. I haven't done many washes with it so I can't confirm any buckling. I usually cut it off and use it for small studies as well as color proofing and sample mixing. This is excellent for the price level of this paper.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Makes me nervous
