It is 140lb/300gsm. Watercolor papers made from cotton would hold more color and with perfect water absorption. The heavyweight watercolor papers is acid-free and chlorine-free, pH-neutral and archival, durable. BAOHONG Academy Watercolorpaper is strong and durable for whether wet, dry or mixed media painting, and less likely to curl or warp. The Cold-pressed watercolor papers have a slightly textured surface, which is between that of rough and hot-pressed papers, allowing for a variety of watercolor techniques. 20 sheets per pack and all these papers are glued bound for easier tearing off, and a hardboard underneath for better protection and control. The 16K watercolor pad, 10” x 7” in size, perfect size to take with in travel. Academy grade watercolor block is ideal for beginning artists, students practice and art exams, a great gift for watercolorists and enthusiasts. Compared to other watercolor papers which are not made from 100% cotton, these cotton watercolor papers are both in high quality and reasonable price, whether you are painting with watercolor paints, markers, pencils, ink, charcoal for painting, sketching, printmaking or drawing, these papers would provide an optimum performance and deliver extraordinarily brillant colors. Review: As a beginner in watercolors, I’ve often heard that while you can use inexpensive paints and brushes, you should never skimp on paper—always aim for the best quality you can afford. I also read that 100% cotton paper is ideal for achieving the best results. I already own a pad of Arches cold-pressed watercolor paper, but I didn’t want to “waste” it while I’m still learning the basics. That’s when I came across the BaoHong brand and decided to give it a try. They offer both artist-grade and student (academy) grade options. I chose the student grade, as both versions are 100% cotton. Wow, what a difference! Even as a beginner, I can tell this paper is leagues ahead of the non-cotton papers I was using before. It stays wet longer, allowing for smoother blending, and I’m seeing fewer harsh lines and edges. The texture feels very similar (if not identical) to higher-end papers I’ve tried. Overall, I’m genuinely impressed with BaoHong’s student-grade paper. If this is considered “student” quality, I can only imagine how incredible the artist-grade version must be. For anyone starting out in watercolor or looking for quality paper at a reasonable price, this is an absolute win!
