Review: Very nice, 100% cotton watercolor paper - When I first got into watercolor painting, I experimented with all sorts of watercolor paper including this, Strathmore 140-205 Ready Cut Watercolor, Cold Press, 5" x 7", White, 25 Sheets. I liked 'em, but I didn't really realize how good they are. A few years down the road with lots of experience with watercolors, I can really appreciate this paper. It's 100% cotton, and after talking to the folks at Strathmore a while back, I discovered it's also vegan. Yay, Strathmore! It holds paint well, it absorbs liquid at the perfect rate, the sizing is ideal for wet washes and dry brush techniques. Paints look great on this paper, and it never gets in the way of what I'm doing, which some paper does. You may already know that Strathmore's 100 series is their entry level paper, then there's the 200 series, 300 series and 400 series, and this - their 500 series - is their highest quality watercolor paper series. And you can tell the difference. So I'm happy I came back to these 5x7 series 500 sheets. I think I'll order some bigger Strathmore 500 paper, too. Good stuff! I'd say it's good for every level of watercolor painter. Review: Lovely paper - I love painting on this paper . Doesn’t curl or warp and the granulation of the watercolor is quite beautiful . Making hand painted wedding invitations for my daughter per her request! ## Features - Standard size sheets for ready-made frames. - Excellent surface strength for greater water hold out, improved color lifting, and blending. - 140 lb. / 300 gsm - 100% cotton - Acid Free ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004WFUE1O | | Best Sellers Rank | #8,239 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #67 in Watercolor Paper | | Brand | Strathmore | | Color | Ready Cut, Cold Press | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (5,277) | | Date First Available | April 13, 2011 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00012017571213 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 6.7 ounces | | Item model number | 140-205 | | Manufacturer | Strathmore | | Material | Paper | | Number of Items | 1 | | Paper Dimensions | 5 x 7 inches | | Paper Finish | Watercolor | | Paper Weight | 30 | | Product Dimensions | 7"L x 5"W | | Recommended Uses For Product | Coloring | | Sheet Count | 25 | | Sheet Size | 5 x 7 inches | | Style | 5" x 7"; Cold Press | | UPC | 685239123418 012017571213 046928195718 703570100452 781710744445 | | Unit Count | 25.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Strathmore - **Color:** Ready Cut, Cold Press - **Material:** Paper - **Paper Finish:** Watercolor - **Sheet Size:** 5 x 7 inches ## Images ![Strathmore 500 Series Ready Cut Watercolor Sheets, 140 lb.

It stands up very well for laying down many layers of wax,and burnishing. I use mineral oil as a solvent and have had no problems. I love this paper for many uses. **Q: The image says this has 10 sheets, but the text information says 25, which is it?** A: it is 10 sheets. **Q: Are these pure white or more of an ivory?** A: The product is much closer to a "pure white" than to an ivory. I can see there is some visual shifting in most of the pictures, including the one I sent with my review. However, the paper has none of the slight yellow caste that usually accompanies "ivory" colored products. Therefore, consider it a "pure white." Also, the cost to try it is very reasonable. All artists should give it a try. Good Luck! Jon Linden **Q: Since this is hot press does it mean its smoother?** A: It is smoother than cold pressed. This brand still has a light texture on one side. Other hot pressed paper may say satin smooth and it has no texture. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice, 100% cotton watercolor paper *by P***E on September 25, 2023* When I first got into watercolor painting, I experimented with all sorts of watercolor paper including this, Strathmore 140-205 Ready Cut Watercolor, Cold Press, 5" x 7", White, 25 Sheets.
