Strathmore Cards & Envelopes 3.5X4.875 10/Pkg-Watercolor -105023

This is a great product for small watercolor projects. The paper responds like Arches brand and yet is foldable and ready to send or archive in a smaller way. Caveat— it does have a wrong side so examine the paper carefully. The wrong side will not respond as well to water, but maybe it’s good for something else.

Cards are awesome. I use acrylic paint and micron pens. They both work great.

OK for acrylic or marker paints. Too soft for watercolors.

Nothing not to love!

Used for holiday cards and metallic watercolors. White gel pens don’t work super well on this particular paper.

These were so nice and thick. Great for making watercolor cards to give to friends.

Product is great! It arrived promptly & in super shape for me to use immediately. I am giving a workshop in creating artistic postcards, so this product is perfect. Thank You!

This is my go-to size for my art! I use to cut larger pieces of watercolor paper to this exact size before finding this product. (Which use to result in a waste of watercolor paper - and that price adds up!) Honestly, I use these for both watercolor abstract and testing purpose with colors and products. While I do not physically send these anywhere due to being afraid they would be ruined. I do use the backside to label and date my art! I found that these will buckle under a lot of water, but they do retain shape back and remain flat. I dont enjoy taping my watercolor paper and this size seems to automatically go back to flat even after soaking in many layers of water and color. I have only used watercolor, light washes of acrylic and ink. (Basically thinning my acrylic to almost water.) Using a dense ink WILL soak through this paper slightly. I havent found one that wont yet. I have no complaints as I do love the convenience of having a pad of watercolor paper that is easily removable and tolerates my abuse! The price is perfect and I feel that you definitely get your moneys worth for this product. I absolutely love this product and just cant get enough of these. I go through them pretty fast as I enjoy abstract watercolor art with finding and image within it.

I’ll use for my Christmas cards.

Paper is sturdy and nice. Envelopes are a really nice paper as well.
