Great for practice!

This is a great paper and you get a lot of it for practice or other purposes. My only downsides are that it's hard to get a curl due to the amount of twist. I cut my paper then place it under something heavy or dampen it with water while it's sticking to remove it. This paper seems to tear more easily when using masking/frisket and the tape will tear it. I do not recommend this for fine art. It is more of a paper for practice or beginners.

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Weight

Love this roll so much

Ordered a few weeks ago and quickly ripped the whole roll up because I liked the paper so much. She's fat and heavy, but doesn't have that many teeth. Smooth, it still absorbs a lot and warps less due to the weight. So far I have really enjoyed using acrylic and ink. If you are looking for a solid roll of good quality general purpose paper then this is the roll you should definitely check out. I've already ordered a second one and will probably order at least two more for the current project…

Pros
  • Watercolor paper
Cons
  • Some mistakes

Cheap paper, cheap quality.

I am a professional artist who ordered 2 rolls of this paper. Both rolls were slightly damaged, especially at the ends. Paper does not hold water well even after sizing. More than 2 layers and it starts shedding fibers and tearing. It also bursts with masking fluid. I would not buy this paper for paintings that you intend to put a lot of time or effort into. Too bad I just gritted my teeth and bought the Arches brand, even though it's much more expensive. However, I think it would be useful for

Pros
  • art, painting and craft supplies
Cons
  • I will add later

You get what you pay for - buy bows or fabrianos instead.

I wanted to make watercolor magazines. I was so excited when the role arrived. I cut off a small piece and tried it right next to the watercolor paper for the arches. I was very disappointed. It is not** the same quality as Arches, Fabriano or Moulin du Roi. I do organic, professional watercolors. I have read reviews of this paper. "Best in practical work." *** I didn't pay attention to them. YOU'RE WELCOME! Listen! This is practice paper! Their professional colors do not have the same tonal…

Pros
  • crafts and sewing
Cons
  • unreliable
