BAOHONG Artists' Watercolor Paper Block (20 Sheets, glued on Four Edges), 100% Cotton, Acid-Free, 140LB/300GSM, Watercolor Art Supplies for Wet, Dry, and Mixed Media Painting (Cold Press 4.9"X7")

I love this paper and can easily see why so many other watercolor artist rave about it. I have many small blocks of watercolor paper and find myself reaching for this one the most. I love the texture and thickness of the paper. I like that a knife was included for ease of paper removal when done with a piece. I seen other reviews where their paper would tear in removal. There is a lot of glue on the sides of the block! After I had two tiny tears on my piece with the little boy and his teddy bear, I use the knife differently. I will slide that knife under pretty far and slide carefully at an angle. No more rips of the paper! I will say that even though it has thick glue on the sides, the paper does buckle quite a bit. I find that surprising with the way the block is made. Thankfully, my hair dryer knocks those ripples out nicely and I go back to laying down color. I will definitely be purchasing more of this watercolor paper in a variety of sizes! Highly recommend to other watercolor artists. Can’t go wrong with Baohong!

Okay great paper. Love to block and have ordered several different sizes. Would recommend for both student and as well as seasoned artists. Great thickness and does not warp

Beautiful texture. Amazing quality… I love it.

It was difficult to get the glued pages apart. Nice size and h the paper is ok for watercolor.

The paper quality is excellent. My package was damaged resulting in a few pieces of paper damage in the corner.

This paper has a lot of texture on the top side of the paper block. If you pull the paper off, the back side is smoother. I like that I have options. It's a nice paper for the price. The color is nice, the paper is heavy and hold water well.

Really enjoyed this paper. Great size and watercolor absorbency. Would buy again

Excellent water color paper. 100% cotton, great for gradated washes without paper warping. This is my fourth purchase of the cold press. It's been quite reliable and the price point makes it a wise choice, against the higher priced Arches paper I usually use. it also comes with a cute handy green plastic knife in the shape of a leaf for releasing the the glued edges. Highly recommended.

Holds water really well, best for multiple layers of watercolor

100 percent cotton, very reasonable price! Rougher texture than most watercolor paper, doesn't bother me but if you use hot press or regular cold press another brand, you might be surprised. Holds a wet wash very well with no blooms or backruns the only thing is it's very thirsty paper so working very wet is good. It's a glued block but they provide a plastic tool to seperate the paper and it works well. Overall very pleased.

O bloco é maravilhoso. Mesmo sendo cold pressed ele tem uma textura bonita e extrai a melhor nuance das tintas! Amei!

I first started buying Baohong watercolour paper long before it became so popular . . . back in the days when it was the best quality for the best price. I prefer watercolour blocks because I can use as much water as I want and the paper stays put. They used to include a small green plastic 'leaf' to slide in the opening and then along the edges to remove it from the block after the painting was dry. I have several on hand so I don't miss them not being included any more. Since I often work on 2 or 3 paintings at a time, I am glad I bought several of these blocks in various sizes when they were still a reasonable price. The past year or so I have been on a quest to find other watercolour paper blocks that will work for me without breaking my bank account. :)

Comparing this to Windsor and Newton paper, it is rougher and needs much more water to get the paint on it. The block does buckle more than the Windsor block but not enough to be much of a problem. I like to use it for my less precious paintings. Drawing on it is not a good idea as your pencil skips in and out. I'm new to watercolour so keep that in mind. I still think this is a good deal money wise.
