Fabriano Studio Watercolor Pad, Hot-Press, 11" x 14", 140 lb., 12 Sheets

I am alternating cold and hot press paper for my watercolor painting. This paper is a good weight. It is a bright white which I like. Being hot press paper it is smooth. No complaints. It does take a little while to adjust from cold press. I love how the watercolor flows and is sharp. The only problem is if you put the wrong color down, especially if it is a staining watercolor paint, it will be difficult to erase, but that is not Fabriano's fault, it is the property of the paper.

Excellent quality and texture, whether you are using water colors or are using it for pencil work. I have a new favorite paper

I primarily use this paper with aquarelle crayons and gouache. It is perfect and does not buckle. It dries flat and the colors are vibrant.Great product, I have multiple sizes now and will be using this product as a main choice moving forward.

This paper is worth the money, it is great for beginners, in my opinion, or for sketching practice. Absorbency-wise, I can say that I layered several colors over each other and it performed fairly well!

I finally found perfect pad for ink drawings. I never used it for watercolor, but ink, rapidographs, nibs, or other ink related tools lans perfectly on it's surface. It is tough, 300 GSM, can take beating and scratching:) I love it.

This is my first purchase of hot press watercolor paper. I normally use cold press and like the texture. Recently I have been doing sketches with micron pens and adding watercolor washes to finish the work. The pens work much better on the smooth texture. It is very easy to move the paint around on the smoother paper.

Excellent quality watercolor paper.I am very pleased with this brand which I had never tried until this purchase.I would definitely recommend this paper/brand to others looking for quality water color paper at a great price.

The media could not be loaded. The paper is nice normally, but this time I received a damaged tablet...all 4 corners are well damaged. Enough to make a permanent crease and weak spot. Cant use for what I originally bought it for...
