. I have done a few projects and was excited because I love Strathmore watercolor paper

I bought this for a few projects and was excited because I love Strathmore watercolor paper but when I received it the bottom side was already taped from the block, thereby defeating the entire purpose of the documents on the block. It also looks like the pad has a cover (similar to Arch's watercolor pad) that was ripped off by someone else because I can still see remnants of it on the edge of the first sheet of paper. Very disappointed with the quality of the seller.

I'm not sure if

  • 15 sheets per pad

Great watercolor paper! has adhesive on all four sides), making it economical. I have to say I'm not a fan of Strathmore paper for drawing, but it's great for watercolors. I have done some mixed media with this paper as well as full watercolor paintings. I used Reeves' watercolors for this one, which seems to do the job well. I recently purchased 18 packs of Holbein watercolors so I may come back later and update this review once I've tried them. The colors absorb well, I can pour as much water

Sheets cannot be removed without damage

This watercolor paper is specially glued on all four sides which seems to be a plus for those using the wet watercolor technique. The problem is that the adhesive is so thick and hard that it's impossible to remove the page without tearing it. acto-knife) and circle it on all sides. Strathmore has a video that also recommends this method. I still couldn't remove the sheet without tearing it. My guess is that an excess of glue may have been applied because it was impossible to tell where the…
