Customers are satisfied with the thickness of the art media paper. They mention that it holds up well, has some texture, and is the perfect thickness for watercolor.

Customers are mixed about the color of the art media paper. Some mention it does not dull colors, it does NOT pile on us, and the watercolor does not bleed through the paper.

Este papel es de muy buena calidad. Si eres amante del dibujo como yo no puede faltar papel para acuarela ya que soporta bien, tiene buena textura, es libre de ácido y las hojas son grandes, además el precio fue muy bueno, tome una oferta y no me arrepiento.

Wonderful 300 g watercolour paper perfect for mixed media, watercolour painting and heavy collage. I've used this with acrylic paints, collage and mixed media, and it stands well multiple layers of paint, embellishments and other materials (chipboard die-cuts, burlap, fabric, other paper, etc.) as well as spray inks. It's slightly larger than A4 (see my photo). Easy to remove from the pad. It's quite smooth but it has a bit of tooth (see my photo). Best non-professional watercolour paper I've ever used. I'll buy it again.
