About Artisto Watercolor Pads 5.5x8.5, Pack of 3 (90 Sheets)
Overall Feedback:
98% positive
95% found the perfect tooth and absorbency
The water absorbency of the paper is excellent, even though I don't know the cotton content.
The paper is absorbent for watercolor and markers, performs like 100% cotton paper, and is wonderful for practice.
I find the pages of this sketchbook perfect for watercolor painting as they absorb water very well without crumpling.
The paper is pretty absorbent for the paint to soak in.
91% appreciated minimal bleed and feathering, but 9% experienced excessive spreading
The perforations are not adequate enough for a clean tear, and it ends up denting or tearing the paper while tearing it out of the book.
The Strathmore book advertised as 48 pages is actually a 24 sheet book. I had a negative experience with bleed and feathering of watercolor-paper.
97% liked the size and thickness, while 3% found it too thin
The paper has good tooth for watercolor and is heavy.
I compared the thickness and quality of the paper with Canson XL and found it not as good.
95% praised the smooth surface texture, but 5% found it too rough
The paper has the right amount of texture and is nice and heavy.
I compared the surface texture of two different watercolor papers and found that this one is slightly more textured than the other one.
The surface texture of the paper is easily removable with gentle scrubbing.
I mistakenly used the wrong side of the paper for my project as one side seems to be smoother than the other side.
