Excellent Quality Watercolour Sheets

According to my experience, these watercolour sheets are the best quality I have used. The texture is perfect for watercolour painting, and the colors look vibrant on the paper. The sheets stay firmly in place and do not curl UP when wet. The only downside is that they are quite expensive, making it difficult to purchase in bulk..

Pros
  • Smooth and high-quality paper that is perfect for watercolour painting.
Cons
  • The glued sheets may cause some issues when trying to remove them from the pad and can damage the artwork if not careful during the process.

Not Worth the Price for Arts and Crafts

BASED on my experience, i would not recommend this art paper. Although it claims to be high-quality, the results were underwhelming. The paper seemed to absorb the watercolors too quickly leaving me with splotchy and uneven paintings. The only positive aspect is the convenient glued sheets. However, for the price, I expected much better quality paper .Save your money and buy a different brand for your next project..

Pros
  • Convenient glued sheets
Cons
  • Poor watercolor absorption, overpriced for the quality

Practical product, nothing to complain about.

I have the same paper in separate sheets. The lower layers of paint lie firmly and are not washed off at all. It won't get smeared by accident, but it won't fix anything either. I worked with wet paper, completely wet it. While wet, it looks beautiful, dried, everything has disappeared somewhere. It is necessary to work with this paper without a backup mask and immediately draw the paint as brightly as possible. When wet, take the paint thickly. I'm not sure if I'll buy this paper again. It is…

Pros
  • The paper is interesting, has a very pronounced relief. Pretty thick and doesn't warp too much. I soaked it completely and it holds water well. Precise drawings on such textured paper are not expected, suitable for landscapes and for some free or abstract works, for dry brush effects.
Cons
  • The most important warning is that the mask (reserve for white) cannot be removed from this paper at all (for those who know about it and use it)! That's just completely. I applied it generously and in the end I could not remove it completely. It rips off along with the paper. Apparently, a very deep texture contributes to this. In addition, this paper "eats color" very strongly - the paint sinks deep and the brightness fades. I have something to compare. Not every even pure cotton so suppresses the color. Especially in wet work. Take watercolor tubes and a spatula, paint consumption will be large)). The dark tone has to be added in several layers, but the paint is absorbed and some whitishness still remains, which not everyone will like. We run the risk of "drying" the work by re-applying paint in the same places. The top layer of paper gives the impression of loose, when using adhesive tape, it is also possible to tear it off along with the paper
