BAOHONG Artists' Watercolor Painting Block, Pack of 2, 40 Sheets 100% Cotton, Acid-Free, 140LB/300GSM, Cold Press Textured, Ideal for Watercolor Techniques, Colored Pencil and Pastel

Art is subjective, and sometimes art supplies are, too. As a watercolor artist, I have tried many different brands of paper. I love the Baohong 100% cotton "grain fin" cold pressed paper the best. It has just the right texture and feel for me.

I have been pleasantly surprised at the quality of these watercolor paper blocks. For the money they are amazing. I know someone has complained about not being able to get their palette knife through the glue on the edge of the block but I have had no problem with that. I would rather have sufficient glue than have the paper buckle and ruin my painting. My one ‘wish’ is that they would offer a larger size block on Amazon: 10x14, 12x16, etc. Thank you for a high quality block at a reasonable price!

Excellent watercolour paper. Holds water well. Good pigment coverage. Even texturizing. Block is tightly glued and resisted warping under wet-on-wet work. One small issue with provided tool for separating the paper. It’s clunky and tears the paper plus it leaves dark marks on the next sheet.

I can’t rave enough about this paper. After using them for a week I ordered more. And did I say that the price is right? 🥰

Paper qualities are good. Unfortunately, the paper edges are wrapped in a film and the directions are horrible on how to remove. I tore most of the paper attempting to remove the film. Would not recommend.

I could not get my palette knife through the heavy glue at the edges to remove a finished page from the block. I fould the texture too coarse as well.
