So disappointed
Just starting on watercolour. Bought this and strathmore at buy one get second at 50 % off. Totally not worth a dime. Newspaper works better. Watercolours should flow, be able to apply more than one layer and maybe even glaze. Add on some more details after first layer dries? Can’t do any of that with this paper. It just pulls and disintegrate s. Wasted time, effort and money. I tried markers on it and even that was terrible. Did work for low grade paints of acrylic tho...

Artist Review
I am a watercolor, digital, and graphite artist. I started out using the 60 sheet 7x10 Canson multimedia 92 pound paper. I then decided to upgrade to this 30 sheet 9x12 Canson watercolor 140 pound paper.
This paper is acid free and has very little pulp in it. It can take more layers of wash, glaze, paint, and heavy lifting/blending than the lighter weight papers. You can apply all watercolor techniques, including blending and lifting techniques.
The 9x12 tablet gives me 2x the amount of paper surface than the 7x10, so if youre on a budget, go for that option. I also prefer the tablet rather than the spiral bound book because I can span a sketch or painting over two pieces of paper if needed when i have the pad opened and laying flat.
If you are still using a lighter weight watercolor, sketch, or multimedia paper...do yourself a favor and upgrade to this 140 pound watercolor paper pad. You will not be disappointed. Especially if youre using the lighter weight paper because of the price point. You do get more sheets for less money with the lighter paper, but as you progress in your painting technique and application, and you find yourself applying better quality paints, more layers, and so forth, you will be glad you made the switch because this heavier paper quality is much better.

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.
