## Description

BAOHONG Academy Watercolor paper is made from 100% cotton. 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: Works great for me - I’m not a professional artist, so this is coming from the perspective of a hobbyist. I love using a watercolor block and this fits the bill. It’s glued on all 4 sides with a small opening to use the included tool to separate the pages. This prevents the page from warping while you are getting it wet for painting. The page lays very flat once it is dried and removed from the block. The paper holds water for wet on wet painting. Paints blend well and apply as expected for 100% cotton paper. The thickness and durability are top notch on this. I load up with water and I load up with paint and none of it shows through the other side. The block size is my personal favorite size to work with. I often put 1/2 inch tape around the edges to make a crisp border. A full block is sturdy to work with, but not unwieldy. You definitely do not need to tape your paper down when using this block. I will be buying this on repeat for as long as it’s available. I’m included a recent painting that used this paper for reference (try not to judge it too hard)
Review: Great Paper! - This is great paper for the price. It does have a bit of texture to it, and is not perfectly smooth. This means there tends to be more absorbency to the paper, which can be important depending on what you are doing with your watercolor. The paper is thick and feels like a good quality. I used gouache watercolor on this paper, and it turned out great with the color accuracy. The paper size is a bit odd for people in the US, and finding a frame for my work is proving to be difficult unless I go custom. The most difficult part is getting the page off once you are finished. The glue is well done on the edges, but it does mean you have to use a sharp xacto knife. You have to be very careful not to cut into the paper while getting the page off. Overall, I am very impressed with this paper compared to more expensive alternatives. I wish there were more sizes to choose from so I can more easily frame my pieces, but that is really the only complain that I have. For what it is, it is GREAT!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Can’t Believe It’s Not Artist-Grade!
*by M***O on December 2, 2025*

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!
