Muito boa relação preço/qualidade. Vou comprar mais.

Cercavo una carta a buon prezzo per fare prove colore e schizzi veloci ad acquarello, se attaccata a una tavoletta regge benino l’acqua, si imbarca poco, meglio di altre carte cellulosa da 300g che ho provato. Si riesce anche a lavorare a più strati (senza esagerare) se si lascia asciugare lo strato precedente perfettamente, a patto di fare pennellate veloci. Non paragonabile a una carta cotone 100%, ma comunque davvero un buon acquisto.

Hoe aantrekkelijk het ook is om een blok met honderd vellen papier te bestellen voor een goede prijs je hebt er niks aan omdat het te dun is het bubbelt zodra het nat wordt jammer!

Comprato di solito in negozio, ho approfittato del prezzo inferiore su Amazon.

I’m satisfied with the quality, I do children book illustrations and it’s enough for me, sure you can have more fun with heavier papers but think about the number of papers you get with that money, 100 :)

Buon prodotto con ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo, la carta regge bene le lavature anche se di 200gr/mq. Ottimo per principianti per non sprecare carta troppo costosa e per schizzi veloci. Da ricomprare.

Consegna veloce. imballaggio sicuro (oggetto integro).Il prodotto è esattamente quello che mi aspettavo.

In this review, let me start by saying that I don't consider this professional watercolour paper for finished works, but it is MUCH better than something like Canson XL or the terrible student grade Winsor & Newton pads. I bought this specifically for practice and color studies, and it does the job (for the most part). Let me explain thoroughly:It's very important that before you buy, you understand a few things. First, this pad is only secured on one side, so you cannot use it like a normal watercolor pad (where you paint on it, let it dry, then cut it off the pad). Second, it is pretty lightweight (200gsm), so it will buckle if you do not stretch or tape the page flat. Third, because it is internally and externally sized, the paint may remain wet for a little longer period of time. I also wonder exactly how archival the paper is (considering it is half cotton and half non-lignin cellulose), as I cannot seem to find any information about how this paper was tested. I did an acid test of my own, and it came out at the proper PH level for watercolor, so there is at least that.In fact, it's worth noting that I can't find any manufacturer information whatsoever about this pad on either the ExaClair website, or the Clairefontaine website. Which makes me wonder if this particular product is discontinued, and the seller is just getting rid of an excess of backstock. Be wary of getting attached! I wouldn't be surprised if one day this just silently disappeared into the abyss of formerly beloved art supplies.All that being disclosed... Lets talk about what I like:This behaves very closely to a high quality full cotton paper in many ways. I would say it's even closer to acting like a full cotton paper, than the St. Cuthbert's Mill Bockingford 300gsm cold press paper. It's easy to lift color (even phthalo greens!), the color actually looks crisp and bright, you can get decent edges, and you can blend. I have done some hard lifting on the paper, and it's never pilled. You can get beautiful dispersion, blooms, and interesting wet-in-wet patterns from the paper. I was able to achieve decent glazing, as long as the layer below was completely dry, and I wasn't working super wet. My only concern is that the paper is so thin, you have to be cautious with multiple wet layers (I would even go so far as to say maybe 3-4 super wet washes, max... and let it dry between). You can draw lightly and erase lines without damaging the paper.In a lot of ways this paper acts more like hot press--decent level of detail can be achieved, lots of time to work the page before it dries, an extremely low level of tooth. I was very pleased with what I could do with dry brush texturing. Since I'm studying botanical painting, this is a nice affordable option to practicing on hot press paper.I have not yet stretched the paper (I prefer to just tape it down tightly and patiently wait for each layer to dry)... In fact, I would be a little wary of that, since there is a considerable amount of sizing in the paper. I'd even be hesitant to do stretching of the paper after a work is finished (a la Billy Showell). Maybe in the future I'll attempt it but take far less time to allow it to soak and see how it does.As for other uses... It's got decent enough tooth for some drawing materials, but you'd probably have to use a fixative if you did many layers of conte, charcoal, or pastel.If any of the terms I'm using here are foreign to you, I suggest you take a look at handprint.com and really get to know your art materials and options, and how to test them for your specified uses.You can't really beat the value of the pad. Just know you get what you pay for, and use it accordingly. Great practice or student paper, not great for multiple super wet washes or a professional work (please don't screw your customers over--buy a high quality and well-documented archival 100% cotton paper for works you plan to sell).
