Overall Feedback:
91% positive
91% found the perfect tooth and absorbency, while 9% had issues with paper buckling
Arches watercolor paper absorbs more water, warps less and shows color better than my previous paper.
The paper warps easily and is of beginners quality.
The paper's weird texture is blotting, which has sucked all the vibrancy out of my Daniel Smith watercolors.
I loved working on the paper but faced noticeable flaws in the first three pages.
