🎨 Bellofy Water Coloring Paper Journal - 5.8x8.3 in - 130 IB 190 GSM - Perfect for Kids & Artists- Cold Press Watercolor Finish - Ideal for Wet Media Review

This paper is an unbeatable value for those who paint a lot with watercolor. Takes water without constipation. It has a good finish but is not entirely white. It's light grey. It is strange. It is easy. I would not recommend it for embossing and it burns easily.

The price is of course good, but this paper is best suited for small children who only play. The paper is difficult to remove from the backing without tearing, it curls and warps terribly, and water tends to pool on the surface of the paper. It can be good for drawing or oil pastels, but bad for watercolor paper.

My kids love to paint with watercolors. We have a good selection of brushes and paints. I bought them because of the size. I would not buy again. The paper quality is bad. They have poor absorbency, colors mix easily, paper doesn't hold much water, and pages don't easily separate from the packaging. It would be fine just to play around with, but I wouldn't buy them again for actual art projects.

These papers were exactly the size I needed which is why I was so excited to see they were cold printed as well. The price was so reasonable! Well I have to say I was just a little disappointed. They are not true "white" in color. They are greyer. They're also not as "tough" as I was hoping. I wanted to use them for watercolor greeting cards. I can use them but the result is not as cool as I hoped.

I tried this paper with high hopes but was very disappointed. Super thin paper. Water absorbs well, but then it folds and creases when washed wet, turning mostly into paper towels. I bought them because I like the size, they had good reviews and they weren't as expensive as other brands, but I ended up returning them and buying something else with #140 paper weight. Good for a beginner but not for anyone who expected a lot from this article.

I wanted this because of the size. I didn't think there was such a big difference between #40 and #30. It's so thin it can't stand up to an eraser, and it deforms horribly when washed wet. But it's also inexpensive and the small size is really good. So I can use it for practicing and drawing. I did small watercolor studies on both sides and they held up well. I think I can practice more as I don't feel like I'm wasting my good paper. But that's not enough for gifts or framing.

If you're doing pure watercolor it's fine, it won't warp after a thorough wash, but if you try to lift or move the paint all the way up or out it will the paper rough and uncomfortable. not suitable for watercolor pencils or other thin liners as the tips of liners or markers develop fibres. she's just not strong. or whatever and I'm new to this so my wash was quite extensive and it didn't close at all. but that's the only plus in my opinion. Don't make me try to use an eraser. you can't recover
