Update: I was hoping to buy this again, but it's no longer available and can't find it anywhere. :(
I have really grown to love this paper. It's perfect for watercolor pencils as well as traditional watercolor painting, and I get professional results with it. It can take a beating as well, erasing, scrubbing, lots of water, etc.,...
Only thing I don't like about it is that it has a repetitive texture on one side, which I think is the side you are supposed to paint on, and it makes it look sort of cheap. I don't like that, so I flip it over to the other side and paint. The other side has a very subtle, random texture that I prefer. I have gotten really good and professional results painting on the back side. Sure hope they bring this paper back, I'm down to about 25 sheets of the 50 sheet pack.
Update: It's back!!! It was out of stock for a long time during COVID, I just ordered more and received it. It's still the same great quality paper. Thank you for bringing it back!
I am a beginner, and The size and price really help me feel good about painting more without the worry that "I'm not good enough" to use more expensive paper. But this paper also really hoped my confidence as soon as I started using it! I saw an increase in my abilities immediately! It made me look better than I am!

The rigidness and water handling capability is in no doubt, but I took off 2 stars to indicate that it has quite a different paint handling characteristic than heavier watercolor papers. It dries much faster and WILL leave an obvious edge/streak if your brushes are not loaded with water. With some staining paints (Pthalo blue, Pthalo green etc.), this edge is not easy to remove and will cause problems if you do not intend it. If you usually paint on dry and likes to push the paint around later with a clean brush, then this is definitely going to annoy you.
Also what I notice is that the paper is coated with something that slows the drying process, which is good if you don't want anything to dry instantly, but it hinders the absorption of water into paper, which will leave a huge puddle of water if you loaded your brush a little too much. This causes a dilemma in conjunction with the aforementioned quick drying characteristic, in that you have to carefully control the wetness of your brush to reach the optimal painting stroke. It is more like a challenge to experienced artists than a forgiving practice medium for beginners.
Thus, rather than using the cheapest available papers so that beginners don't waste money throwing out failed work, I seriously suggest using at least 140 lb paper to start. They are not that expensive and are much more forgiving to beginners. Beginners then can focus on the creative process itself and not worry about technical details.
- Takes a lot of water and doesn't pill. Sure it curls a little, but what loose watercolor paper doesn't? All I had to do was put it under a heavy book and it flattened back out.
- Preserves watercolor transparency beautifully. I can layer colors over and over without the paper falling apart.
- It's whiter than the expensive 140-lb. paper, which makes the watercolors pop a little more.
- Can't beat the price for the quantity.
- Love the texture; not too toothy but not too smooth either.
- You can tape it to regular 8.5 x 11 paper and feed it through a regular inkjet printer, in case you want to print art on it instead of paint on it.
(Check out the attached photo for my first watercolor test.)
I would definitely buy this again once my stack runs out.
