I wanted to love but I can't.

I really liked this paper. That is beautiful. But when you try to draw on it, you realize that there are problems. Deep craters on the surface, large strands of fiber pressed into the surface, and bumps so rough it felt like I was painting on a popcorn ceiling. Serious. Also, the paint doesn't stick to it well, it doesn't absorb water and doesn't paint well. The paper has some kind of sheen so I'm wondering if it was sprayed with glue or some other chemical? Anyway I had to send it back.

Pros
  • Robust design
Cons
  • Damaged
