Paul RubensWatercolor Paper Block, A5 Premium Leather Cover Artist Quality Hot Pressed Paper for Watercolors and Wet Media Block, Acid Free & 100% Cotton, 7.68 x 5.31 inches, 140lb, 20 Sheets

The media could not be loaded. The cover has a really luxurious and high quality feel. Papers are thick and have a very nice texture. They are thoroughly glued around all edges and this pad comes together with a matching plastic knife to separate the paper from the pad after the painting has dried. Brushing the entire paper with water to paint wet-in-wet is no problem. Once it has dried, you can cut the painting from the pad and it’s completely flat. Perfect paper pad to bring on a field trip!And the pink cover is so adorable!

Amazing little pad. Presentation is just beyond cute and the product itself is an amazing quality. I ordered the pink one ( yeah partial for the colour ) didn’t check the paper which is hot pressed and has a really smooth surface. Paper handles watercolours nicely and the company included a cute and handy little tool which can be used to remove paper from the block. All in all good quality product, pretty presentation and I may include amazing customer service

I’m a bit confused by this product.The paper is everything you could hope for in a hot pressed quality brand. There’s a beautiful pink cover. However the place to start separating your page, is in the left hand margin. Now your work is no longer in the book form. There is no option but to separate the sheet from the left hand side, so why have it in a binder? I just don’t get it.If you could separate it elsewhere and choose to leave the left hand side bound, I could then understand it being a book.May as well just pay for a block.

Very elegant design. I love it!The paper sheets have back thickness edges which give them a very elegant and precious value.The quality of the paper is good for watercolour and gouache. The water keeps well on the paper and even if very wet, it doesn't lose the shape very easily.

Very pretty little watercolour pad . I do like how it looks very much and the fact it is a pad and not a book is very handy, however I didn’t realise that it was what most watercolour paper manufacturers call a ‘block’ I wanted a little book but with watercolour paper in to take outside sketching with my portable tin of paints and my travel brush which is completely my own fault but I’m actually happy that I made this mistake because the paper will not buckle when I use it if I leave it on the pad until the paint is dry it should stay totally flat.It’s the perfect size to fit in a handbag, the paper is gorgeous, the book doesn’t weigh too much to carry outside without having a car some books are a pain to take out. I’m looking forward to the rain stopping so I can go get the bus somewhere out of Plymouth and do some En Plein Air watercolours! I love this little book.

Do not buy this block of watercolour paper. The paper itself is lovely to paint on but getting the paper out of the book is a terrible experience. The glue of the block holding paper in is way to strong and leaves horrible black glue all around the edges of the paper. It's so difficult to remove from the block the paper rips and tears. I ended up ripping a painting I was hoping to gift and had to scrap it. In the end I took them all out and will have to use all the paper as scrap or practice because you really wouldn't want to give it to anyone. Very disappointing for the price.

I haven’t used this yet however the quality of the paper suit my need.

The block looks lovely and is well presented. It is great to paint and draw on. As a paper block it works very well and is able to hold a lot of water without effecting the paper underneath. But I lowered the stars because of a few things. The paper is not easily taken off the block, every time it rips, even if I use a knife to try to delicately remove the paper. The black glue sticks to all sides of the paper and there is no removing it. I also wish the blocks were replaceable, the cover is to nice to throw away so I will find a way to reuse.

Ich nutze es inzwischen regelmäßig …

Es ist kein Notizbuch, so wie es aussieht. Ist ein Block.Ich find ihn recht hübsch. Kam gut verpackt an. Bisschen zu gut verpackt - hatte Druckstellen vom Gummi aber das war nicht so schlimm. Das erste Papier hatte eine kleine Druckstelle an der Seite.Ansonsten mag ich die Qualität. Hab jetzt zum ersten Mal mit Guache drauf gemalt, war überrascht, dass es nicht wellt (aber gut, ist Aquarellpapier).Bin eigentlich zufrieden :)

Gut verklebtes Aquarellpapier. Toll zum mitnehmen, da alles durch den Einband geschützt ist. gute Qualität

Sehr praktisch in dieser gebundenen Form!!!

Das Papier selbst ist angenehm zu bemalen, und der Block hat eine schöne Größe für unterwegs oder kleinere Projekte. Dafür würde ich 5 Sterne geben.Unglücklicherweise färbt das schwarze Vorblatt extrem auf das Malpapier ab, und das ist für mich persönlich ein riesiger Makel. Ich habe es herausgeschnitten, aber dummerweise färbt das geklebte Papier auf dem Cover ebenfalls, wenn auch nicht ganz so stark. Leider gibt es dafür ordentlich Abzug, denn so günstig ist der Block nun auch nicht, als dass ich darüber hinwegsehen könnte.Mein Tipp an den Hersteller: Einfach das schwarze Papier durch weißes ersetzen und das Produkt verdient die Sterne!
