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

Best value for the money! As a high school art teacher I buy this for my students and my own kids (Elementry age). You won’t be disappointed!

Super happy with the quality of the paper. Just right for my watercolor painting. Great value for the money despite some negative comments in regards to the delivery of the paper. Thickness is great and would also try acrylics next. Will definitely buy it again.

I have been painting with heavy body acrylic on paper for almost 20 years, mostly for personal fulfillment but have had shows and sell both commissioned and non-commissioned pieces. I’m hardly a staple at The Met but not a beginner! I only use the best materials available through common channels and this paper is excellent to work with.

The price is amazing for this paper. I’ve seen it for $10 for just one. It’s perfect for beginners. The kids aren’t wise with water distribution and the paper handled it for a long time before piling. Way way longer than i thought it would. I use this paper to dabble. I find that if i am a master at over working and damaging just spots here and there. They aren’t noticeable. It’s perfect for learning, practicing.

This is not the best according to the people who consider themselves experts, but it is good enough for me. And it is less expensive than the ones the experts prefer.

WAS A GIFT---MUCH APPRECIATED---TOLD IT WAS GOOD QUALITY

My daughter loves to paint with watercolors and this is great, stiff paper for that. Holds up to the tons of paint she likes to use. Easy to tear out, the cover doesn’t stay on great but that’s ok.

This year my 12 year old and I are learning to paint with watercolor. Never painted before, we went with the advice to start with this paper for learning. It was surprising how THICK it is. It is deceptive when you see how thick the pad is, but it only has a few pages. We now use only 1/4 of the sheet while we are learning a new technique or practice project.

Great watercolor paper, especially considering the cost! Of course, as with any other paper, if it is exposed to an excessive amount of water, it will begin to peel and you may get some pilling like other reviews have mentioned. However, in my experience thus far with this paper, this only occurred when I REALLY drenched the paper. So with normal use, it shouldnt have any problems. Would definitely recommend!

Never had an issue with this. Good for multi media.
