Shizen DesignWatercolor Paper, White, Cold Press, 12x18 Inches, Pack of 5 Sheets, WC 302

I LOVE this paper!!! It is white, which I prefer over the off white. It isn't heavy but doesn't buckle and dries flat. I no longer like needing to tape and stretch paper for watercolors. It has a divine texture that does such wonderful things to my impressionistic paintings. People who prefer fine detail may not like it as much as I do. When I want a smoother surface I use Fabriano extra white Artistico paper in blocks. Between the two of them I have everything I want in paper, and fortunately Amazon carries them both!!

This is truly beautiful water color paper that is textured and frayed on the edges. It will be beneficial in creating incredibly unique paintings. Exactly what I wanted. Additionally, it was extremely well packaged for shipping; therefore, I will be ordering from this company again.

This paper is great! It is heavily textured, handle loads of water.

Some paintings look great o this and others don't I will stick to rough

Terrific rough handmade paper. Enjoying it.

This might seem expensive per sheet, but the deckled edge adds a dynamic element to your painting & the paper takes the watercolor paint beautifully. This paper will take your final work of art to a higher level. My students and clients love it!
