🎨 White Fabriano Artistico Watercolor Sheets, 16x20 Inches Review

Who doesn't love Fabriano Artistico? I REALLY should have read the description better - 2 sheets ***16x20*** - so over $18 for a practically full sheet of paper. Next time I'll just buy from Dick Blick, where a full sheet (22 x 30) is about $11. Even with shipping, it was a few dollars cheaper.

I was shocked when I opened the package and there were only TWO pieces of paper. I actually thought it was two PADS papers and I got a lot. I'm just an aspiring artist and very naive, but it says "TWO PACKAGES" and not "TWO SHEETS", so I'm shocked that each sheet of paper costs more than $10.
