Fabriano1264 Watercolor Pad, 8 x 8, Bright White

I am about to purchase my 2nd Fabriano 1264 Watercolor Pad. I love everything about this Watercolor pad. I love the size, 7x10, even though it comes in other sizes. I love that the paper is 100% cotton and the best quality for watercolor painting; because not all 100% cotton watercolor pads are created equal. I have a 100% cotton watercolor pad in a beautiful pink leather binder, but it's made in China and the paper dulls the watercolors and it does not perform like high quality papers. I love the wire binding that makes it so easy to flip the pages and makes it seem more casual and user friendly. Being fairly new to watercolor painting I am always hesitant to just pick up my paintbrush and paint in my other sketchbooks in case I mess up. The reason I'm hesitant, is because you cannot just tear out the page in my other sketchbooks. But with my Fabriano pad I can simply tear out the perforated page if I mess up, and I'm not stuck with an ugly page messing up my sketchbook. You simply cannot beat the quality, the performance, and the great price of this Fabriano watercolor pad. Try it, you'll love it like I do, I'm sure.

I work mostly with guache and the paper responds well to that medium. Like many papers of that weight it will distort somewhat as it gets wet but in the end it will flatten nicely. Very pleased with it.

I love this sketchbook. It takes on washes and I can do scrubbing and lifting techniques very easily. I mostly use it for warm ups and studies. But if I like the painting a lot, i just tear off the page and frame it. This is just as good as the Fabriano Studio paper and i honestly do not know what the difference between the two except that this is cheaper somewhat.

It's decent.

This sketchbook does the trick. It is not 100% cotton but is definitely higher quality paper than you get with most brands in this price range. I have a set of Fabriano paints, which I love, and is why I decided to try out their sketchbook. I’m glad I did. I truly enjoy using this book. The spiral binder allows the book to lay flat. It also has a perforated edge if you want to remove the page. This is not highly textured paper, and performs well to all types of painting styles. You can see in the photo, I did a background wash in this painting and the paper didn’t warp and dried completely flat. I do recommend this book to anyone who enjoys playing with paints, inks, liners, etc. You won’t be disappointed in your finished creation.

I use this paper with oil pastels, it is heavy enough to hold the oil pastel very well. I also utilize baby oil to better smooth the oil pastel over the sheet. I love Fabriano paper. When using oil paints I have always opted for Fabriano Pittura paper.

I bought this because it read bright white. Nope, it isn’t. Both sides are rough also. I like it when one is and one isn’t. Wasn’t too expensive though.

I consider myself a beginner/ not so beginner watercolor-er lol. My usual brand of paper I use is Arches 240 pound cold press watercolor paper. It's become so affordable here on Amazon. Buuuuuuut.... I always wanted to try this paper. I've heard some good things about it and purchased it when I saw the price on it. I'm so glad I did. I can layer on it very well. Scrubbing is also very nice. Some paper just shreds no matter how easy you go but not this paper. I love how you get 30 11x15 sheets at such an affordable price. I like practicing on it as well as more time consuming projects.

Excellent papier et bonne absorption j’aime bien ses dimensions

O produto é ótimo! Gostei muito e tenho usado para aquarela. Chegou bem rápido e bem embalado. Ótimo vendedor. Recomendo.

Uso este papel para hacer dibujos a bolígrafo y evitar se arruguen, hace que la tinta se absorba y seque más rápido evitando se corra la tinta con las manos, también la textura ayuda a que el bolígrafo no se tape y salgan trazos perfectos a la primera cosa que cualquier persona que padece artritis agradecería, se puede hacer papercut y animaciones con este papel ya que es lo suficientemente grueso para que no se dañen las piezas, de cada página me salen dos dibujos de tamaño considerable e incluso hasta tres.Lo que si Amazon debe cuidar más el embalaje ya que me lo enviaron sin caja y sin sellar en una bolsa, afortunadamente al papel no le pasó nada de importancia, por el grosor no tuvo daños pero no deja de ser un papel delicado que requiere que se envie en una caja con protección para no dañar las puntas de las hojas.

Excelente! usualmente pintaba en Canson de 300 gr, quise intentar fabriano y quedó brutal

Beautiful paper that works the way you want a watercolor paper to work.
