## Description

We all love Canson XL Series Watercolor Paper! Trusted for decades by artists, students, hobbyists, and art teachers. Each heavyweight sheet is crafted with care to obtain that perfect paper texture and provide a sturdy foundation for multiple washes and layers without warping or buckling. For those of you nerdy enough to know better, our paper is 140lb/300gsm (which means the pre-cut “ream” of full-size sheets weighs 140 pounds and a single sheet of one square meter weighs 300 grams). All of this just means Canson XL watercolor paper has impressive absorbency and strength. So, go at it with bright colors, gradients, and detailed strokes, and even mix things up with gouache or acrylic paint for a mixed media effect. The Canson XL Series was created with students and teachers in mind – affordable, high-sheet count options with an intermediate-level performance sufficient for technical practice and showcases. Once artists are confident enough in their skillset, we recommend transitioning over to the Canson Artist Series family of paper for a museum-quality look and feel.

Review: Perfect quality, intense paper, I put a couple of layers and it keeps the water perfectly
Review: papel de acuarela Canson XL me pareció excelente. Tiene una absorción muy buena, lo que permite trabajar capas, mezclas y degradados sin que la hoja se deforme demasiado. Además, se corta muy bien, lo cual se agradece si quieres hacer piezas más pequeñas o trabajar formatos personalizados. La textura es muy agradable: suficiente agarre para técnicas húmedas, pero sin llegar a ser demasiado rugosa. Y el color del papel también me gustó muchísimo; tiene un blanco limpio que realza muy bien los tonos y mantiene la fidelidad del pigmento. En general, un gran papel para estudiar, practicar o incluso hacer trabajos más detallados. Recomendado sin duda.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this really good for water coloring?**
A: I love to save a buck, but this paper makes me hate watercoloring. I started out with this paper but it made me so frustrated I almost gave up entirely and when I put my mind to something, I'm like a dog with a bone. 

I use this to strictly for brushstroke drills, and it's so bleep bleep finicky it helped me learn water control. But I think you'll be a LOT happier if you purchase an Arteza watercolor journal, even though the weight is less than 140lb.

For anything using wet/wet technique, I go with nothing short of 100% cotton in any brand and cut the paper into quarters to save money.

**Q: What is the content of the paper? It isn't stated in the description, but I would like to know if it's 100% cotton or not.**
A: This is not 100% cotton. It's pretty good as far as cellulose paper goes though! Just don't expect it to hold up like Arches or other 100% cotton papers if you're completely soaking it or doing lots of scrubbing.

**Q: Would this paper be good to use to print an image on, then colorize the printed image with watercolor pencils and water applied with brushes?**
A: Well, one thing is that you might have to cut it down to make a standard size width. It’s 9” across and your printer is probably set up to use normal 8.5 x 11 paper. So there’s that. 
I believe I tried it some time back and it didn’t work in my HP multi-function printer; however, I have another idea for you. 
This is 140 lb paper. If you are looking for heavier paper than normal, abs not specifically watercolor paper- here’s a thought. I have used the Nenah 8.5 x11,  110 lb paper and that runs fine through my printer. I use that to print free images I’ve found online and I do coloring that way. I can color with watercolor pencils abs then go over it with my water/aqua brushes. They only let a teeny bit of water out at a time and that paper holds up. It also holds up great with markers and no bleed-thru. I have used the Crayola fine tip markers, Tombow, the Bic markers that are similar to sharpies and those come in ulta fine and fine tip, as well, and others. 
I have on order some 120 lb paper to try and 1) see if it will work for water coloring printed images & 2) go through my printer. 
I haven’t used the Neenah 110 lb for my actual watercolor paints, because I don’t think it would hold up. 
I’m not a real artist, I just do it for fun, and make cards, for stress relief, etc.

**Q: can you just put it on the easel? Or you need to put a piece of paper on the drawing board?**
A: There are 30 sheets attached at the top of this pad.  You can put the whole pad on an easel or you can take one sheet and use it on a drawing board.  I hope that helps!
