Paper is good, glue is bad.

I love the paper but the glue has soaked into the pages and sticks so firmly that once you peel them off they are only good for scrap. I used an Xacto blade to peel off most of the pages but lost 7 pages due to the glue making it not that economical as 23% of the back is unusable for a precision 6x9 sheet.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Quality

Disappointed with drawing, painting and art supplies

Was hoping for better quality from this company. Here I used very little paint and water and when I reached for the wet brush again to remove some paint the paper started to curl and tear. This was my third attempt at this paper, each time with the same results. You can't use a lot of water, which defeats the purpose of using watercolor paper.

Pros
  • art paper
Cons
  • unreliable

I'm obsessed.

This is the best watercolor paper. If you can't afford Arches, this is the best option. There is also a textured side and a smooth side. It warps when oversaturated, but a big, heavy book can't fix that. The price is so cheap that you don't feel guilty if you screw something up. I went through two of these in the last month.

Pros
  • Watercolor Paper
Cons
  • Unbelievable Price

Not suitable for lifting or wet blending

Just trying to buy this pillow to replace the precut paper (I thought it was Strathmore) I've had in this size for a while ( which I can't seem to find available anywhere else) this is my favorite watercolor paper as I like to work in small sizes. Unfortunately, this paper does not have this quality or texture. First, the glue tears the paper to remove it from the backing, meaning I had to trim the edge, ruining the scale. Second, the paper absorbs the color right away, making it very difficult

Pros
  • Arts, Crafts and Sewing
Cons
  • Not sure
