Customers have mixed opinions about the weight of the art media paper. Some mention that it has an amazing weight to it, is good for painting, and is heavy enough for small art projects.

19 customers mention8 positive11 negative

Customers are mixed about the smoothness of the art media paper. Some mention that it curls slightly, but then dries pretty flat. It's alright paper for wet on dry technique, but with wet-on-wet, it warps badly and pills. However, others say that it's smoother, thinner, and lesser quality than cold press. It wouldn't let them blend very much without the fiber of the paper rubbing off.

"...low cost wood pulp paper with pigment getting stuck in the texture, not blending and dries in a bit of a lifeless matte finish." Read more

"...It might curl slightly, but then dries pretty flat. For the most part, this paper is pretty forgiving." Read more

"...Of course, my blending technique is a little unconventional considering I don't dilute my paints as much as I probably should and I think that this..." Read more

"...It dried in a reasonable time and even though I did alot of layers without waiting for it to dry completely it held up great without buckling...." Read more

Love this paper!

Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2017
I had high hopes for these papers especially since it is from Strathmore, which by the way they have such amazing products, so I was excited about this product. I am fairly happy with this purchase! I purchased a 5x7 size set and although it is smaller than I am used to I ended up liking the proportions anyway (I am aware there are other sizes but I wanted to try to draw on a smaller scale for a change). The paper was able to hold lots of washes; however, the paper did bulk just a tad bit even when it was taped down. The bulking is not terrible, like I said before it is very minimual, in fact it was easy to flatten with a little back and forth warping so it was not a big deal breaker. Just like most cold press watercolor paper there is texture on both sides. One side has a more uniform dotted harsh texture while the other side had a mild tooth to it. So it was pretty cool to be able to choose a side. My paints also stayed wet on the paper for a fair amount of time for me to work with blending and such. I also loved sketching on this paper. If you sketch every lightly it is almost hard to notice the lines when you paint over them. I adore this feature only because I would prefer to have line-less drawings ordrawings where the line art is not muddled by the graphite. Overall, great product. I think I will be using this paper more for my personal sketch and practice drawings. I think this product is perfect for any type of experience watercolorist and I highly recommend it.

This watercolour paper is the best brand I’ve found that can really take a lot of water but doesn’t cost an arm and leg. Holds bright colors well. I can always count on Strathmore paper to be the same product every time.

O bloco vem com 12 folhas 100% algodão 300 g/m e pelo preço, encontramos opções melhores aqui na Amazon para papéis 100% algodão (procure por Hahnemühle Expression). Mas se a ideia é ter um bloco para viagem que ocupe pouco espaço e com um tamanho interessante para um Travel Pad (20,3 x 25,4 cm) este aqui não vai decepcionar.
O anúncio não informa, mas a folha possui duas texturas: fina e rugosa. Adicionei algumas fotos de um sketch usando pigmento da Daniel Smith. As duas última fotos mostra as diferenças das texturas.
