This pad is well-loved by the Paper & Ink Arts staff! Durable cold press paper holds layer upon layer of water and paint; it is our go-to paper for kids' art classes that involve wet media. Handles watercolor beautifully, but is also great for mixed-media techniques, acrylic, gouache, colored pencil, and calligraphy. 300gsm/140lb. 30 sheets, 9 x 12 size.

This works okay for beginners/kids, but if you really need to be able to use watercolors the way they are meant to be, this won’t be the paper for you. Water tends to pool on the surface and the pigments don’t behave quite as they should. Try 100% cotton paper instead.
