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

Ive been using these sketchbooks for quite some time and nothing beats the quality and price.

Liked it. Amazing products.

Good.

Excellent quality watercolor pad. Nice size too.

Okay so far i have just used this one time and not even for probably the standard use, so take this review for what its worth to you. I was looking to print and frame something from my home printer however it was turning out horribly on regular printer paper. I remembered i had just purchased this watercolor paper, cut it to size and VOILA... So much better! The colors are more vivid, the picture is way clearer, and it looks more like a real painting.

A terrific paper at a reasonable price. Absolutely perfect for practice or finished artworks. Gives me the freedom to paint with abandon. Works just fine for my type of watercolor that doesnt use heavy washes. I have done edge to edge watercolor painting with the paper and it held up just fine. I love it so much I opted for a subscription to keep me painting whenever I want. It is cold press with some texture - I normally prefer hot press but the texture in this isnt overboard.

This is great for beginning artist. Love the way my paintings have been coming out .

Well, Im no artist but I gave this pad to my artist GF and she loves it. She compared it to the paper shes been purchasing locally in Germany and says it is much better quality and loves painting on it. I of course have been reaping the rewards of all the little love notes and drawings that she makes for me, win/win!!

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.

As an artist, this is great quality for watercolor. At #140 it has great weight and didn’t shed when I used it, very important. If you are looking for paper with texture this has some but not notable. If this remains a lower priced paper pad, I would recommend it. I would order again and purchase as a gift for a fellow artist.
