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

Was using watercolor pens and soaked this paper several times. Worked like a charm.

Great for beginners. Does go through to back of paper, but not onto the next page. My daughter uses with brush pens/water color pens. Would recommend and would buy again.

I really LOVE this paper. It’s perfect. Textured and thick. I never have issues with holes in the paper when using watercolor, and the paper stays flat. My 7 year old son ( who is a water over user) and I use this paper together! It’s absolutely worth the money and more.

Strong paper for 6yo watercolor painting, makes my daughters art look like it should be in a museum. Worthy of hanging up afterwards.

Great purchase. Thick paper and good size for both kids and family.

Ive found this paper to be quite durable, provided I dont overwork my paintings, which is truly the goal for me. Prior to retiring, I was a commercial airbrush medical illustrator, where it was all about the details, so learning watercolors has helped me to loosen up. And the price is wonderful. I do find the smoother side of the paper a tad easier to control, but sometimes I love the splashy look of the other side too.

I usually have issues with the paper warping but I havent had any issues so far with this paper, it does the job but only issue is the paper came not connected to the outer cover although not a big issue, its kinda annoying

Great quality paper, and I love that its easy to separate. The cover of the pad is not connected to the entire top of the stack where they are glued, so you are just separating the top sheet from the sheets below it, instead of pulling away from the cover at the top (makes it more likely to rip).

This is a great affordable watercolor paper

Everything is great about this paper. It survives many many washes. No pilling at all. Even color distribution. It is not cotton. But its as close as you can get! Review asks about travel. The size i ordered is definitely not great for travel. Very large and heavy. Lol. But it doesnt take away from the quality.
