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

I truly love using this paper, as it deals woyh water well and isnt too thick or thin. My only issue was that this pack came with the paper not connected to the cover, and while i will still use it, its a shame it came with small amounts of wear and tear. Overall, its still my go to paper.

I purchased this because I needed some VERY heavy cardstock to make dividers for organizing craft supplies. I wanted something that would not bend easily. Super thick cardstock, when you order it as cardstock in a ream, is extremely expensive. I got this for $5 and its even thicker than the best heavy cardstock I could find on amazon for $30+. I didnt mind the texture, for my needs it was fine and didnt affect the project at all. Label machine labels stick to it just fine. It is super thick but still easy to cut by hand.

I love this, a lot. The hardcover is great, no more bending or damage to any of the pages. The paper itself works great! It can hold layered pencils, markers, watercolors good. I haven’t had any issues. Let your watercolors dry between sections and it should do fine.

I absolutely love these art papers. They work very well with the Arteza Real Brush Pens and are of good thickness. Very sturdy and easy to use for beginners. The paint doesnt smudge and it works very well to produce effects and shading. Good value for money with 30 sheets. Exactly what I was looking for!! Definitely recommend buying.

This is great paper!!! I’ve tried other brands and was honestly never 100% happy with any of them, so I’d just use them as “practice” or “warm up” paper. I am so happy I purchased this one. Loved it so much I’m about to buy more :D love painting in watercolor :D

This is a very good watercolor paper for adult beginners or children. I keep several pads available for my granddaughters as they love to come over and waterpaint. They love how the paint moves and changes on this paper, whereas it just sinks in on other paper. Good buy.

Great for beginners. You don’t feel like you’re wasting a lot of money if your art project did not turn out like you planned

Good quality for learning watercolor.

I think this paper works well for watercolor and gouache. Dont see the need to purchase anything more expensive at this rate.

This paper is ok. It is listed as textured and it has a texture---the same texture as their regular paper. In fact you could say it has two textures as one side is smoother than the other. I was looking for a rough paper that was modestly priced to practice drybrushing and things like that. Oh Well! Back to the drawing, oops! painting board...
