I've tried and used many brands of paper over the years. I stumbled across this paper by Buckingford in England and really liked it. For a finished work of art in watercolor, this is amazing. Now I'm disappointed in other brands.

Pros
  • 140lb Cold Pressed, 100% High Alpha Acid Pulp, No Chlorine, No Acid, Neutral pH. Calcium carbonate buffered paper without OBA
Cons
  • I can't remember but there was some

The fixes are clean and simple. In my opinion

This is a very high quality English paper. VERY working and forgiving paper. The paper works with you, you don't have to think about it. The fixes are clean and simple. That's beyond anything you can get in the US in my opinion.

Pros
  • 12 sheets
Cons
  • Very expensive

Surprised by the performance

The color mixing in the portrait was really good, I was very happy with it. I didn't really have to let it dry completely between coats and it seemed resistant to cauliflower cooking, which I loved! What I found odd was the lack of color in the red. Does it look like it lost its red color in the main wash? Very strange - drawn directly to them. I would say it's a good value.

Pros
  • Special paper form made in England
Cons
  • Quick guide
