Fluid Watercolor Paper Block, 12 x 12 inches, 15 Sheets, 140 lb (300 GSM) Hot Press Pad for Artist Painting and Wet Media

Nice and sturdy. Honestly worth the money.

I absolutely loved the quality of watercolor paper that you get with this product. I prefer hot press over cold press so much more.

This is perfect for portrait, watercolor or color pencil color. First of all, I have to tell you that I have been painting on the watercolor paper with only the cold press kind, and only used the hot press when I was in college for interior watercolor design. This time I decided to try and it gave me a feeling of joy. It's come out so nice easy to use. The color may not bright enough as the expensive artist grade, especially good price 👍

The only thing good about this paper is the smooth surface. It does not perform up to the standards of professional watercolor paper. When using this paper, one should consider it to be similar to Bristol. You will not be able to do any lifting at all. Your first heavy wet n wet wash will immediately cause the paper to rise up like a sunami and separate from the two unglued sides. The paper will never go back to original even when completely dry. This paper is at best only suitable for the dryest of dry brushing. This paper will take you a step back in your watercolor journey. If you want to lose confidence in your ability, this paper will be perfect for you. My favorite new paper is the Moulin du Roy by Canson. I wish we had a USA distributor. I also still like Fabriano hot press and have not had any issues with it. Getting back to the Fluid, I think the whole program is a big PR one. It is done with “mirrors and lights”. The combination of paper and paint add up to a perfect zero. If you are serious about your watercolor art, Fabriano, Moulin du Roy, Arches, all make excellent blocks as well as sheets. Daniel Smith and Winsor Newton are my main two paint brands, BUT, I buy by pigment classifications and not names. Check carefully since pigments for many colors have changed and will not produce the same results to which you have been accustomed.

Very thick and doesn’t warp like many other papers

Beautiful paper, I like very much, the thickness is great and the texture is too. I'm sure the person I bought it for will love it.

Nice paper no rippling?
