MEEDEN 10X7 Cotton Watercolor Paper Block, Textured Surface Watercolor Paper, Cold Press, 140lb/300gsm, 20 Sheets for Painting & Drawing, Wet, Mixed Media

I really enjoy this watercolor block. The paper is thick, durable, and the cold pressed and rough both have beautiful texture. I purchased a stack of various sizes about a year ago and added them to my already overflowing drawer of watercolor paper. I noticed recently that I had just used my last sheet from all those blocks I purchased, and my “premium artist grade” papers are still there. This paper does not buckle since it’s in a block, and I haven’t had problems with bleed through or pealing at all.

This is great paper, a good amount of sheets and affordable price.

It is my favorite kind of paper for my projects and paintings…it can withstand lots of water for loose painting, the thickness is just right and that it is in block form, it does t bend or buckle! Just the things I w been looking for, I found with this paper! I started out with the smallest block available and am up to 15”C10.2” and eager to get started!

Fine

Received yesterday, haven’t used yet. Bought to do washes in watercolor. The texture feels good and it was highly recommended.

This is high quality paper at an excellent price. Other reviewers have said that it's difficult to separate the paper from the block once the painting is finished. I have not found this to be the case. There is one spot along the top of the page where the glue isn't present, and it's simple to start there and peel the page away from the rest of the block. I've been very pleased with it (once I figured that out!). It works well and, as I mentioned, the paper is high quality. I prefer using a block to avoid the hassle of taping, having paint leak under the tape, etc.

Phenomenal product, especially for the price (about 1/2 of Arches, the industry standard)! It’s 100% cotton and can take a beating. If you’ve only used cellulose-based paper, you’re in for a treat. You can work it much, much more without it pilling, and you can layer on colors and water with ease. It is pretty “thirsty,” and absorbs water pretty quickly.

I did not like the gumminess and thickness of glue on the sides. I had difficulty removing paper from the block. Paper has a very dry rough feel to me, I did not care for texture. However, the block did help keep paper from warping even when lots of water added to it. Movement of watercolors ok. Just not for me.
