Premium Watercolor Paper Pad 2 Pack by Genuine Crafts - A4 8.3x11.7 - 60 Sheets - Cold Press 140lb Sketchbook - Acid Free & Textured Paper for Watercolor Painting and Wet Media Review

It says "*Premium* Watercolor Paint" and it INSTANTLY creases and curls if you use even less and you can forget about applying layers. Don't buy this; Returns are very annoying and that's what you end up doing.

I bought this a while ago and finally tested it. No matter what type of watercolor paint I used (and I've tried watercolor plates, watercolor tubes, liquid watercolors, watercolor pencils, and watercolor brush pens), I could never get the colors to spread and mix. Once the color has landed on the paper, it stops moving. It was like using alcohol markers and I have to admit it was very frustrating. I tried wet on wet and wet on dry but nothing worked. I may have received a faulty batch but I do…

It took me a few weeks to find time to try this paper. And to be honest I didn't know what to expect as I'm not an avid artist. However, when I opened the package, the first thing that struck me was the weight of the paper. Just one swipe and you can find that it holds the watercolor well and doesn't soak it up causing the colors you want to use to fade. I had my children draw a picture for me and there was no flow of flowers. It wasn't a mess for her and now I'm sketching the first image I'm…

I'm new to watercolor by the way. For the price and quantity I wasn't expecting much. But I have to say that I am very satisfied. The photos I added were a test page, some wet on dry and some wet on wet. The watercolor on dry paper is very smooth and crisp. I will definitely buy this paper and use it for wet and dry painting in the future. Wet on wet is also smooth and crisp. However, as you can see on the back of the paper, it is slightly distorted. I used very little water on the stains…

[Update] Just terrible for the wet on wet method after prolonged use. As I mentioned before, the tape is tearing it up like crazy. It cannot handle an erasure, even a slight one. When I paint wet-on-wet, my brush destroys the paper after the third layer. I don't have this problem with the other two watercolor papers I bought. Since it's comparable in price to Canson paper, it's not worth it. I'm new to watercolor but bought 3 different papers. The colors on this paper look beautiful compared to

I bought this paper from for reviews. After trying the paper I'm confused by the reviews. I was looking for cheaper watercolor paper for strokes and stuff. I just can't bring myself to practice on sheet paper. It's okay to practice a brush stroke, but that's about it. First, the paper has an odd gray-blue tint. Not pure white at all, which detracts from the final product. The paper is very damp. It dries out the brush very quickly. This paper requires more water than usual to be used. Paper is…
