Winsor Newton Classic Watercolor Pressed Review

Terrible. I tried different colors and different brushes and the results were the same. It takes multiple strokes to cover what should be covered in one. It's not even good for practice. It's like there's a barrier that needs to be broken before the paint can settle.

I am a bit disappointed with this paper. I was hoping it would be as good as the Winsor & Newton colors but lacks the quality I was looking for. It can't take a lot of water without smearing and shedding fibers. However, it's thicker than most 140lb watercolor papers I've tried, which is good.

This paper has a very…

I like that I have a link that is easy to return to. I thought this pillow would be perfect! And knowing that this is W&N, an established brand in the watercolor community, I figured this notebook would be a huge asset. Unfortunately, I had a hard time with this paper. I'd say I'm an intermediate watercolor beginner, so not an…
