Speedball Art Products, 811210, Fluid 100 100% Cotton Artist Watercolor Paper, 8 x 8 inch Block, 140 lb Cold Press

I love this pad!It’s great for watercolor painting and it’s easy to separate the pages when they are dry! Best little pad and it’s real great quality for the money!

This paper performs well with both watercolor and gouache. The colors blend smoothly and the paper does not warp easily. In comparison to Arches, Arches paper is more thirsty and has is a little rougher texture than Fluid 100. I like both papers as each handles the paint just a little differently. In my photo the color swatches on the left are gouache and the ones on the right are watercolor.

I really like this little travel block. The paper is great quality and I like that the block style stops warping. My only complaint is that the page binder is a little too strong. I almost always tear the paper slightly if I'm not extra careful when lifting the page.

The paper is very good, the work is creative, great, thank you!

I love this paper! It takes water really well I put a ton of water and color on one piece and it never leaked to the page below!!!

Edit: So far I have torn 2 sheets even though I am trying to be very careful when removing a sheet. What is the secret to separating this paper? I am dropping a star this is ridiculous.I like the paper.( not so much now)I thought I would like the paper being in a block until I tried to separate it. I must not have read the reviews for this paper. I bought another size of the same type that was not block bound. I read those reviews. I was being very careful (yes the paper was dry) but in one spot I torn the paper, not much but it is noticeable. I then used something thinner (a postcard) between the next sheets to ever so slowly remove one side of it. That worked, so I am going to keep the rest of the paper now that I know how to separate it. Just be very, very careful when you remove each sheet.

I really enjoyed painting on this paper. It’s a good quality, 100% cotton paper and it handled layering, lifting and both WOW and WOD methods. I like that the glued sides kept the paper nice and flat as it dried. All around, I’m happy with my purchase and I would buy from this company again.

I use these little blocks for about 40+ paintings each year. I appreciate the quality and texture of the paper.

Because it is 100% cotton, it works well with watercolor.

Excellent

Nice Paper

It is not that easy to "lift" paint off as i had read, nor as scrubbable as I hoped. Arches or Fabriano Artistico are better on both those counts. It is however better than papers that are not 100% cotton.

Too small! Not worth the price paid for it. I sent it back and had to pay $8,00 to return this item. That was not fair. Won't order this again.
