Worth the price and usually on sale!
I loved this paper for the project I was doing! I know it's watercolor paper, but I used it to blend acrylic paint on top of to make a kind of sunset sky. Can't wait to frame the paintings!

Poor quality
Buckles, pills and tears easily. Not even good for beginners or practicing. Got 2 during BOGO 50% off. Stuck with 2 large pads of useless paper. Waste of money.

This has to be the worst paper on the market
This paper is useless for watercolors. It cannot take washes no matter what you do. It buckles and warps. Don't even try to glaze or apply multiple washes. It's not even suitable for practice or beginners. I tried giving it to my preschooler for crafts and it couldn't even stand up to her student grade water colors. I wish I could get my money back. Don't buy this paper.

Depends on what Type of Artist You Are
I have had decent results using this alongside tutorials that don't go beyond maybe 3 layers of watercolor. Wet in wet it warps a bit even at 140 lb. When I do my own personal work where I am doing more complicated mixing and layering the paper pills EVERY TIME. It is hard to lift and if you mess up it is not very forgiving. So I would reccomend if you are trying to learn basic techniques but move on once your skills get to the point you want to do more complicated blending or wet in wet techniques. Illustrators that use maybe one or two light layers of watercolor seem to think it is fine but I do more "traditional" landscapes and find it pretty frustrating.

A Useful Paper for Beginning Watercolor
The price of paper can be an obstacle -especially during the learning stages while the ravenous, growing painter is encountering how much experimentation lies ahead. You NEED watercolor paper to work this medium. If you attempt it on an inadequate surface it is extremely likely that you will become discouraged. This paper is right on that line where affordability and quality start to intersect
-right where the serious student thrives. As you improve enough to require the benefits offered by higher-grades of paper, congratulations. Move on and don’t worry about looking back. There are some truly magnificent papers waiting for you. Until then, use the @#&*% out of this paper and in doing so, build that first relationship with a surface -the starting point from which you will measure not just other papers but the properties of pigments and binders in general. This stuff is 100% cotton, acid free (incase you accidentally create a masterwork that requires archiving) and is sized adequately enough to survive some experimentation without too much brutality. It’s made by a reputable, old-world manufacturer and if you’re nice to it it will be nice to you. Good luck.
