One Star – Very Disappointed with Quality I purchased this watercolor paper in bulk (100 sheets) for my art class students, and unfortunately, the quality is extremely poor. The paper simply cannot handle basic watercolor techniques: • Fragile surface: Even with a light wash, the paper tears apart. When erasing pencil marks, the top layer of the paper comes off. • No vibrancy: Watercolors appear dull and patchy, with no brightness or clarity. • Poor water handling: The paper cannot take more than one brush stroke. Adding a little extra water or layering colors makes the surface clumpy, uneven, and unusable. • Not suitable for learning: Students struggle because the paper itself fails before they can even practice properly. This was a bulk purchase meant for classroom use, but now I regret buying it. Definitely not recommended for anyone who wants to do watercolor painting—even beginners will be frustrated.

Amazing papers, never have found these paper offline, great choice for watercolor and i use them for acrylic too

This paper is most unsuitable for watercolors it behaves as if it is a piece of blotting paper. The moment you put colour on it it's spreads and you get furry edges I had bought this and now I am stuck with it earlier they had given a very is nice smooth paper which is extremely suitable for fine watercolors what this I will have to just throw away or give it to some children to paint or play with

As an avid watercolor artist, finding the right paper is crucial to achieving the desired results. I recently discovered ARTIOS Cold Press Watercolor Paper, and I'm thrilled to say it has exceeded my expectations. This paper has a perfect balance of texture and durability, allowing me to explore various techniques with ease. Whether I'm layering colors or creating intricate details, the paper holds up beautifully, providing a smooth surface for my brushstrokes to dance upon. What truly sets this paper apart is its ability to enhance the vibrancy and luminosity of my watercolors. Each hue appears more vibrant and alive, giving my artwork an added dimensionality that's simply mesmerizing. In conclusion, ARTIOS Cold Press Watercolor Paper is a game-changer for any artist seeking to elevate their craft. Its exceptional quality and performance make it a must-have addition to any creative toolkit.

Thus is quite different from other 300gsm watercolor papers. The water and pigment get stuck and absorbed at the point or region of application. The paper is somewhat like a blotting paper. The texture is very rough and it is special for that reason. I am buying more of this paper for the texture. Email putchavn@yahoo.com for sample paintings.

It's a good product
