"Excellent to 'practice' on if you are feeling a little daunted about using your 'special and expensive' watercolour paper. I have also let my children use it with their little Cotman sketchers paint boxes, they love it!!!
Well worth every penny! Go on give it a try!"

"" This is really exellent paper for the money,
and you don't get that stomach pain when something goes wrong. Really made me improve!""

"Was given a sample pack to try. It is very good paper, I now use it for all my students and they like it and find it very forgiving. Have experimented with it ie. wet on dry and really wet into wet with lots of success. Anyone thinking of having a go with water colours I would highly recommend it."

"This pack helps remove inhibitions about wasting paper as you practice.
Good size and quality. Has helped me a lot."

"Its a great idea but I really could not get on with it at all and, on my art teachers advice, I ended up giving it away.
Its performance was so inferior to Arches or Bockingford - particualry for wet-in-wet."

"I find this paper great for practising oil or acrylics on. Give it a couple of coats of gesso. Away you go. Cheaper and easier to store than canvas.

"This is really excellent for letting children have a go at painting watercolours. I haven't tried it myself to practise with, but my 4 year old is doing exceptionally well using my student watercolour pan paints on it, and the price means I don't mind taking one or half of one out a day for her to draw and paint on. It's nice thick paper, card like in thickness and remains nice and flat even though she doesn't tape it down. She is effortlessly mastering the techniques on this paper that I had trouble mastering myself on watercolour paper, so I'd say it was probably better than some of those papers I started off using. In fact I'm back to purchase more of these now and a watercolour pan set for her birthday so she has a paint set of her own."
