Canson XL Series Watercolor Textured Paper Pad for Paint, Pencil, Ink, Charcoal, Pastel, and Acrylic, Fold Over, 140 Pound, 9x12 Inch, , 30 Sheets

Im a professional watercolor artist and have used all the best paper out there. Arches, Hahnemuhle, Baohong...all have their quirks. This paper is no different. Its not cotton but it works. This little line and wash I did behaved quite well. Im enjoying the paper. It just might be good enough to handle a commission or 2. I ordered the 2 pack but only received one. I hope the seller makes it right. The paper gets 5 stars, the seller...not.

It is a decent, high value paper, which I have used before. I am an early watercolorist so I have not pushed its properties.

I am so happy I bought this item. I actually use it for gouache and even sketches. I additionally have used a page for nail polish swatches. It holds up well and it pretty thick. I will definitely rebuy once I run out. I have made great pieces on this and it held up a lot of damage I did with layers. Good product for price.

I thought I was getting a great deal. My FB group is about 50/50 divided on it. Youll either love it, it hate it. Not good for lose painting because it sucks up the water. Good for beginners though because you wont feel like youre wasting it when you need up. I would definitely recommend this for children, though. Its basically economy paper. Personally, I wont be getting more.

I have used this paper before. It’s versatile and of good quality. Good for beginners and advanced artists. The product was packed well and arrived in a timely manner. The price was good I was happy with my purchase

Got this as a gift and it works pretty well with watercolors. As I’m practicing and doing exercises I used it both sides for that purpose without problem. Love it! Next time I’ll try using the mix media edition of Canson as it’s cheaper in Walmart and as I’m not professional it would work to practice.

I wanted a good water color paper for my kids art projects. This year they have ventured into water colors, and being toddlers, literally soak the paper. This paper help up well with minimal warping. Its not completely water proof--my younger son spilled his rinse water on it and it got drenched--but used for its intended purpose, it did very well. Its also inexpensive enough that it makes a good practice paper, or good for toddlers who like to paint 4-5 minute pieces at a time.

I really like this paper. But I had to dock one star because mine came pretty badly damaged. About 7 sheets of it had to be trashed. Thats the only reason I docked one star. Minus the damage, its a 5-star product.

I bought it because my professor let us to buy it. I search it on amazon, and this is a good price and good for beginners.

Great value for the money! I use it to mostly practice my watercolor paintings, and to paint final hobbyist art pieces. With too much water it can be warped, but its expected. Will buy again!
