Description:

It's a great paper to paint not only with watercolors, but also with acrylics. It takes a lot of moisture and it is very sturdy. Love the texture. Use it for printing giclees as well with great ink handling.

    Extremely versatile, I use it for painting with watercolor, acrylics and for printing giclees. I use the scrap paper for kids to paint during my workshops in schools and I even print my business cards on it. Love it!

    I've used this paper for years; I use gouache on it, working from thin washes to thick lighter colors over darker ones. I love the hot press for my architectural stuff. It's a great weight because you can see through it with a light box but thick enough to stand up to this painter's demands.

    This paper was recommended to me by an art teacher, and she was right. It is wonderful for watercolors. The texture is great and really grabs onto the paint.

    Probably the watercolor paper I have used the most. I tape it to a drawing board with drafting tape, when finished painting I remove it and have a nice white border. For my purposes I like the texture it has. Sturdy paper.
