Review on 🎨 Strathmore 640-56 Vision Watercolor Pad, 6x9 Tape Bound, 30 Sheets, White by Doris Tran

Just trying to buy this pillow to replace the precut paper (I thought it was Strathmore) I've had in this size for a while ( which I can't seem to find available anywhere else) this is my favorite watercolor paper as I like to work in small sizes. Unfortunately, this paper does not have this quality or texture. First, the glue tears the paper to remove it from the backing, meaning I had to trim the edge, ruining the scale. Second, the paper absorbs the color right away, making it very difficult to blend it on the page - this may work better with drier techniques. Does the paint become grainy and cracked? instead of mixing well in the wash. The increase in color caused the paper to curl up.
