This paper is my first choice for most of the art projects my class does. The paper feels good. Even children notice the weight and texture. It stands up to young artists' enthusiasm. It's lovely for watercolor and mixed media.

I’ve tried all the watercolor papers, and without having to pay extreme amounts for 100% Cotton Paper, but without using cellulose paper that doesn’t absorb water at all, or dries too fast - this is the best Segway paper I e found for intermediate watercolorists that want to get more familiar with how the expensive papers work and feel with watercolor. This paper stays damp longer allowing you to blend better. I use this with my Daniel Smith, and if you want a paper close to how 100% cotton works, I would highly recommend this paper for practice!

I love this (100% cotton, expert) paper! I use this and Arches, that's it. The other papers I have tried are just not up to the job.It washes well and holds multiple layers. So long as you don't abuse the paper it doesn't feather on even the smallest details.I'd like to address a few comments about this not being great for sketching/ masking. It doesn't rip with masking fluid, however the surface of the paper will be a tad rough afterwards, so I wouldn't use fluid on an area that you will be using lots of detail, same for erasing pencil. Get your lines laid out cleanly so that you aren't sketching and erasing on the paper or else the surface becomes unruly. That is an issue with all watercolor papers I have tried though, excepting the Arches 300. A similar weight in any brand I have tried does the same. I am showing a wide variety of strokes and uses. I hope this is helpful.

Es un papel muy grueso y de buena calidad. Ideal para hacer difuminados y retoques profesionales.

Arteza sta diventando un marchio tra i miei preferiti. Resiste egregiamente all'acqua, assorbe il colore in modo perfetto. Consigliatissimo anche per chi, senza pretese lavora senza un supporto dedicato.

The value is the best part of this paper. 60+ sheets at 300GSM for under $25 is a steal. This paper is NOT 100% cotton, however, so don't be fooled into thinking it's anything other than student grade. Arteza makes 100% cotton paper that comes in 14-sheet pads - it's called their "Expert" paper.This is good paper though. It's heavy and cold pressed, but still somewhat smooth. Those looking for lots of texture will not enjoy this paper. The paper is sturdy and doesn't buckle too much during wet-on-wet. Of course, you should always tape your paper down to keep it flat during painting. I am a a total novice with watercolors (as you can see by my tree study image), and this paper is terrific for working out techniques and testing colors.You'll get some cauliflower and back flow in heavy wet-on-wet washes like skies, but dry brush and wet-on-dry look very good. I'm still learning to control water so maybe those will go away eventually. Overall, this is solid student-grade paper that comes at a very reasonable price. Great for kids, beginners, and even more experienced users wanting to try different things.

The paper is nice and thick enough that the water doesnt soak through and the colors do not bleed through. It have a rough side and a smoother side. Something I noticed is that the more textured side is weak. And by weak I mean, it peels if you are really working the paint on the paper. It can not take tape very well. I have a very good masking tape works well on everything BUT this paper. No matter how slow or what angle you pull the tape up, it takes some of the paper with it. I fpund that after pulling up the tape if you gently rub down the area that was taped then you cannot visually tell that the tape took off a thin layer of paper. If you do tape this paper, you have to be very very careful about removal its very easy to tear. I haven't painted on the smoother side side nor taped the smoother side so I do not know if there is a difference with taping and peeling.Other then that, the paper works like one would expect. Good for quick sketches and watercolor painting. Overall I would not say this is a great paper. It a great paper for the quantity you get for the price, but it could be better.
