Not for watercolor

Do not buy this paper if you plan to use it for watercolor. It has a very rough surface and all liquid is absorbed instantly, like cardboard but worse. I thought it would work perfectly for small paintings - birds, feathers, butterflies. And for my first sketch, I was surprised by the rough texture. I couldn't even draw a clear line with a pencil because the texture was so rough. Some don't mind, but it wasn't really a problem. It happened when I first touched the paper with a brush. I might as well draw on a paper towel! Even a light stroke with the thinnest brush with the slightest amount of water spreads so poorly and sucked in immediately and didn't spread. However, it holds the pen well so I have to use it for small pen drawings that I don't want to color in.

Pros
  • Acid-free
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
