Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper, 8 x 10 Pochette, 10 Sheets, 140 lb (300 GSM) 100% Cotton Cold Press for Artist Painting and Wet Media

I like this paper. USA made heavy weight 100% cotton.Not to happy with Amazon Delivery. They sent art paper in a paper envelope and left it in the rain, but that is a review for another place.

These are high quality and great for my watercoloring needs! I am impressed and will purchase again.

A step up from Canson XL paper.

This product is great that it stays flat even with a lot of washes. The washes get absorbed and you keep wetting the paper to keep the washes wet. The paper stays damp for a really long time so to avoid painting wet on damp, use a hair dryer. If you don’t do washes then you’re good. If you want to mask with out disturbing the delicate surface good luck. I have tried five different masking fluids, masking pen pumps, thin line applications and lifting preparations, and none work well with out careful use. The surface is not tough enough. Most pros don’t try, or even mask at all and probably don’t buy this paper. They buy Saunders or Arches and pay double with out complaining.

This is very nice, 100% cotton paper that takes paint quite well. It’s not as durable as more expensive paper and I’ve found that I need to be very careful with tape and masking fluid. The blocks are only glued down on two sides but that seems to be enough to control buckling. I’ve been able to put down some very wet washes with no problem. I’ve found that I prefer their hot press to some more expensive brands but the cold press isn’t quite as nice. A great paper to practice on and it comes in many smaller sizes. The 300lb blocks are great!

This paper was great! No bending once the wash dried and the paper took the liquid quite well. Once dry I was still able to lift paint with little difficulty. Texture on it is beautiful. This is by far the best paper that I have used and well worth the price for well planned compositions I plan to continue using cheaper paper for experimentation. The paper is stiff, similar to cardstock but still a good deal thicker.This truly is a get-what-you-pay-for scenario because this is wonderful watercolor paper.

This paper is very good with wet on wet watercolor washes. Buckling is minimal and the paper stays wet for a long time without damaging and fear of over working. Would definitely recommend

I'm a professional watercolor artist and I prefer the single sheets versus the blocks. This 5 x 7 is really great! I also prefer the 300 lb weight so the paper doesn't curl up when wet.

Doesn't buckle or wrinkle like some cheaper papers do but it's not forgiving. If you make a mistake it's hard to correct as the paint doesn't lift off.

Must work fast. Seems pigment gets sucked into the paper and locked in place. Liftability is okish I guess. The paper buckles hardcore with washes of water, so if you dont stretch the paper its gonna pool. Texture is more in the smoother side.
