Very thick and well textured

This is a surprisingly heavy paper (more like card stock) with a good texture. The adhesive is quite strong so the pages don't come off easily (and in fact it will take some effort to peel them off). Ideal for showcasing work that requires texture - sketches, watercolours, etc., but also holds well on wet media. Really nice.

Pros
  • Good workmanship
Cons
  • Some small things

Perform like a champion!

I used this paper for the two mixed media projects shown. Both have 4 product primers, 5 layers of acrylic on top, followed by texture paste, stamps, ink, pen and other colors. The paper is holding up great! Won't roll, won't warp, doesn't need a stack of books to flatten it out. Perfection! I didn't know what to expect and was very happy with my results. Actually, I'm preparing to start a new project!

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Compatibility

Great paper! Best in Art Paper

This paper adheres very well to all types of wet media: gouache, marker, watercolor, ink. It doesn't wobble even with heavy water use and hardly seeps to the other side. It provides a stable, smooth surface to apply a base color, wait for it to dry and then paint over it. The paper is nice and thick and has good surface roughness, it is better to match the color. You also get a lot of paper for the price: the price-performance ratio is good. I am very happy and satisfied with this paper andโ€ฆ

  • Stylish and modern design

Thick and great for mixed media

These sheets of Leda mixed media paper are beautiful! I mainly create mixed media art and draw into a magazine first and then repaint it onto 140lb paper or canvas. It's just that this paper weighs 140 pounds and can work with almost any media. It is cold pressed with a light texture. It will likely curdle a little if you oversaturate it. Just wait for it to dry, place a larger protective sheet over it and press down with a large book and it should flatten out after a while. This paper is thick

Pros
  • even the old can understand
Cons
  • Hard to say

The watercolor caused warping, as did most of the papers I used.

This mixed technique from Leda Art Supply worked great. First I used a pen and alcohol marker, the markers were translucent but the paper didn't sag or bow. Then I tried watercolor, I was impressed. Every paper I've used for watercolors has warped and looked awful, but not this one. The paper is slightly textured, which was perfect for both of my creations. I tore out the page so the other pages wouldn't become unusable and it worked when the markers ran out. I didn't try graphite or acrylicโ€ฆ

Pros
  • I hold my fists
Cons
  • Infinitely lazy

Nice Paper: Art Supplies, Art & Craft Supplies

Okay, that's great paper. It has a really grainy texture, the leaves are WHITE (not that horrid purple hue that all watercolor albums by unknown companies seem to be these days), and it's just a joy to touch and use. It's intended for mixed media, so not quite a watercolor paper, but it holds up fairly well and the texture and quality of the paper really works in its favor. Haven't tried destroying it with insane amounts of water or a scraper etc. but I don't want to waste it because it's great

Pros
  • Art Paper
Cons
  • A Few Little Things

Good quality at a reasonable price.

The texture of this paper lends itself very well to watercoloring or painting. It holds up well to a lot of water manipulation when using watercolors. It fits nicely in my smaller utility knife and is easily swapped out for things like greeting cards. This can be especially important if you plan on framing what you've made, as the paper sizes are a bit unusual. The amount of paper you get for the price is worth it, but be aware when counting both sides of the paper as pages. So even though itโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Art, drawing and craft supplies
Cons
  • Doubtful

Good thick paper for drawing, drawing and art supplies

This is a set of 2 pads of drawing paper. Paper sizes are 8.25 x 11.75 inches, common in Europe and Asia, but narrow and long for American consumers. Acid-free paper, 140 lbs., natural white. It is tied with glue at the short end. The cover is made of cardboard, the back is made of thick hard cardboard. I find this paper good for watercolors and markers. I take drawing classes for beginners, so I've been drawing a lot lately. This paper is better than some other mixed media papers I've triedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Crafts, Crafts and Sewing
Cons
  • So Far So Good
