int!rend Watercolour Paper DIN A5 300gsm - 40 White Glued Painting Paper + Water Tank Brush & Pencil - Premium Water Colour Pad, Paint Book & Sketchbook

I hadn't tried this pack of paper before but it was an affordable price and came at a size which didn't need me to measure and cut larger paper to size. Straight away I loved it for this reason. It's a generous post card size - not a small size. And because of it's generous measurements it has worked in two ways for me. It enables me to paint in it's given size, but also to split the paper in two (across the shortest side) and paint in small or miniature to put behind a mount. One of my favourite ways to paint! The size and it's ability to be cut down is also be ideal for those who, like me, like to create ACEO's or ATC's. (ACEO- Art Cards, Editions and Originals . . . . . and: ATC - Artist Trading Cards) The paper is textured, and has great absorbency. However, in some circumstances I prefer a flatter paper, so simply turn the paper over and use the back, which is very flat. It works! (It's probably not what they teach you in art school, but I say if it works for you then that's OK!) It comes with a small sized water pen/brush - which you can fill with clear water and then, when you're ready to wake up your paints, you simply squeeze and let the water flow into the brush so that you can paint. It's a great size for packing and taking with you wherever you go, and because of it's small size, it's perfect for popping into a bag along with your paints and your favourite brushes, pencil and maybe a pot of water. I like this pad a lot, and would most certainly buy it again. Now I ask a favour . . .

Bought this pad a while ago - I specifically wanted an A6 watercolour pad (A6 is what most recognise as the ‘postcard’ size) to make little Christmas ‘cards’ that could be framed for friends and family. Each sheet presents the opportunity to use either the smooth or textured side, both of which provide the surface required according to the art work you’re wanting to do, and given the weight (300g) the paper is suitable for watercolours, acrylics, oils, inks. My preference is inks, though I have used acrylic for some of the stuff I’ve done, and the surface does stand up to to being a bit wet. I’ve never flooded any one sheet so I can’t say how the paper dries if you apply too much water, though being honest I wouldn’t expect it to buckle as the paper quality is very good. The photos were done using inks, and though the inks weren’t the most expensive on the market, you can see that the paper provides a great base, and the colour vibrancy is clear. I’ve almost gone through the 60 sheets, and I will be buying another pad - I’ve also used it for on-the-hoof sketches as it’s a convenient size to throw in my rucksack, though sketching on 300g paper might be a little overkill 😊 Definitely worth buying, great price, quality paper.

The size is perfect for travelling or beginners. The paper is quite thick and absorbs water well, no bleeding unless you try to do so with a lot of water. I have just realised now, the paper is double sided. This means it can be used on either or both sides!! One side is strong cold pressed (strong texture) and the other soft. I love both! Dry on dry or wet on dry has more defined texture on the stronger side and softer less visible texture on the other side. For wet on wet, I'd say stick to the very textured side so the bumps in the paper can catch your excess water. Colours look great and vibrant, so no tint on the paper, it's brilliantly white. This is a huge bargain for great quality! I'm very happy with it.

This paper IS as it says and I am so grateful. I have used many different types of paper and this one has great quality, very nice texture, the thickness and absorption are spot on. Using this paper for both watercolours and fine black ink works really well, I had no issues with paper rub, reeling or crumbling. BUT the best thing of all is the colour,… IT IS WHITE. Not off white, and this helps with the overall look of the final artwork. I have had many issues in the past where companies have white in the description but it’s off white and the paper quality is poor. But NOT this brand. Looking to buying it again… when it’s back in stock😕🙂.

If your looking for a watercolour book this is the one, it's brilliant especially when doing watercolours for the first time and knowing how to do it probably then def get this book. I'm just so glad I bought this, the paper is so thick and you also get paint brushes and a pencil with it to get you going. I'm so into watercolours and thanks to this pad for helping me

Bought as a gift. Haven't opened packaging. Can see hardcover pad, pencil and water brush. Pleased with purchase.

Nice set. Good quality heavy paper. Textured on front, smooth on back. Good saturation for wet/wet.

I found it doesn't hold water well but is nice for detailed painting requiring no layering or wet on wet techniques

Product is of great quality and a wonderful size; convenient to carry it around.

Das Papier hat gute Qualität, ich nutze es um Postkarten fürs postcrossing selbst zu gestalten. Bisher keine Probleme. Es drückt auch nicht durch, selbst bei Wasser auf Wasser Technik

Uitstekend aquarelpapier

Papier un peu décevant puisque pas 100% Cotton. Pour le prix la qualité est correcte mais il existe des meilleurs papiers aquarelles sur le marché.

Muy buena calidad, las hojas son gruesas y duras
