Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper Block, 4 x 6 inches, 15 Sheets, 140 lb (300 GSM) 100% Cotton Hot Press Pad for Artist Painting and Wet Media

Sample halloween cards for paint party, excellent surface for watercolor glazing, lifting..

It's glued on two sides and so you paint on it while it's still in the pad. No need for blocking. When they dry I insert them into paper frames (which you can buy with envelopes) and use them as Christmas cards.

It is nice to utilize the entire paper surface and not needing to tape down the edges. I do not like taking the time to tape and dislike having the disruption of white edges to my artwork. Love the smooth surface to do pen work on my watercolor work. Great testing on this smaller pad. I will enjoy working on a larger pad with my next purchase.

I love the texture of the cold pressed because it is not too overwhelming- it’s a bit less toothy than other cold pressed paper. It takes watercolor (and colored pencils- which show the tooth) very well.As for the hot pressed, which is my preferred watercolor paper texture, I didn’t like this one as much. I felt like it showed a lot of small fibers when using watercolor and like the watercolor wouldn’t show up as well as the cold pressed in this case. I’ve not had that issue with another brand of watercolor paper.Be careful when removing each page, as it can tear into the paper, even when using a palette knife.

As a beginner I made the mistake of buying cheaper paper. It doesn’t absorb water very well and it INSTANTLY wrinkles. They usually aren’t pre-stretched, on a block, or 100% cotton.After dealing with crap paper, I invested a little on this paper and it’s a WORLD of difference. My pieces went from awful, to amazing. I assumed it was my talent, but it was just the paper. I also like how this isn’t the most expensive paper, and is reasonably priced, for the quality of the paper. Perfect for beginners who want professional grade paper but don’t want to spent $80-100 on professional grade paper. Shocked with how well this works for me.

This was a big miss for me. I was looking for a small (4x6) hot press block and this is one of the only brands that makes them. However, the paper doesn't hold up well to anything. If you draw in pencil and need to erase, you'll take off the top layer of paper and it leaves a fuzzy base. Wetting the paper just makes it weaker/fuzzy.

Loved working with this paper. Perfect for smooth application, bright colors, linework, details, and washes. The paper does warp a little bit while in use but every paper does. All I had to do was put the pad under some weights and it straightened out really nice and easy. The gum borders are easy to cut into (I didn't have an exacto knife or whatever so I was able to do it with a butter knife... but i wouldn't really recommend doing that it's kind of annoying). If you're deciding on whether you should use this paper or the regular Fluid hot press, CHOOSE THIS ONE. The regular fluid hot press is not good! bad warping, the surface isn't smooth, the colors are dulled down, it's just overall an unsatisfactory experience. This paper however really delivered.

Worked well enough for gouache. I like that two sides of the paper are glued down to help prevent warping with lots of water, however it’s very easy to get the paint on the next layer of paper because of this. I’ll still opt to tear it off and tape it down.

Compré el papel prensado en caliente, definitivamente de buena calidad, no se dobla mucho ya que viene encolado en 3 lados, llega a encharcarse un poco el agua y arrugarse un poco pero una vez seco recupera su forma. Al ser prensado en caliente no tiene la textura característica del papel de acuarela como el grano, no permite hacer mucho trabajo sobre capas como los papeles prensados en frío, aún así es un excelente papel.

High quality paper that holds up very well to several settings without buckling badly. Smoothness of the paper allows the watercolour to spread evenly without a lot of spreading

It is hard to release the paper to paint without bending it. Will not buy again poor quality for the price.
