ideal for detail work

is stronger than Canson, Fabriano and sheets. ideal for detail work. If you want to use it for a "loose" drawing style you'll need to dampen it more than other brands, but that's fine as it's a block that hasn't warped/warped.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Crumpled paper

Please keep them in stock?

This is the best watercolor medium I've come across in years and I'm still sticking with it because it matches my strokes and colors perfectly. Please keep them in stock as I will be back for new ones in the near future.

Pros
  • 1 year free trial
Cons
  • Available in white only

Disappointed with the quality

The packaging was of poor quality, one of the corners was broken off affecting all the pieces of paper. The gasket wasn't even fully wrapped. Disappointed with the quality, I assume it will be the same paper every time for this brand and type, and for some reason it's not as high quality this time - colors don't flow, water doesn't settle the same way, just different and less beautiful results. I don't know how it could even be, unless it's a factory wedding or something.

Pros
  • Brings joy
Cons
  • Older model

Paper is heavy but still warps with acrylic

This paper is fine. Although the packaging was pretty good, it was still crumpled in one corner. I mostly paint with acrylic paint on canvas. But it turns out to be a bit pricey, both in terms of money and storage space. I bought this paper for acrylic paints thinking it would be thick enough not to warp, but it warped anyway. Maybe it's a pipe dream to think that I can use paper and not deform. After one use, the taped edges peeled from the thick cardboard backing, leading me to believe it…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
