Review on 🎨 AUREUO Watercolor Painting Canvas Pad - High-Quality 11x14 Inch, 10 Sheets, 3 Pack - Ideal for Water Based Paints - Triple Primed for Optimal Results - Blank Cotton Pads for Artists by Marty Wainwright

What a fabulous idea!

These pads are not paper textured like canvas. They are actual fine-textured lightweight canvas sheets glue bound in a pad with a sturdy cardboard back, so if you paint outdoors, you don't need a drawing board. Each generously-sized sheet has a slight tooth. It's not a smooth as hot-press paper, but not as textured as cold-pressed. If you like to lift and layer your paint, it's amazing. It can take more punishment than paper. The sheets are lightweight and do buckle a little but would flatten when framed or mounted.Many watercolorists are moving toward showing work without glass by mounting their paintings on cradled wood panels. If you are one of them, it would be worth giving this novel support a try.These pads are specifically created for watercolorists, but would also work well for colored pencil, pastel pencil, gouache, ink, and mixed media techniques. I've tried a few things with the first sheet and am looking forward to playing with it more, exploring all of its possibilities. It's similar to watercolor canvas panels, but in a pad.

Pros
  • The AUREUO Watercolor Painting Canvas Pad is an essential tool for any artist looking to take their watercolor painting to the next level
Cons
  • The canvas has a tendency to warp when drying
