Faber-Castell A4 Watercolour Pad

Gifted, great, very happy

Good quality paper, great value for money, easy to use, really absorbant watercolour paper pad. The size is ideal for small paintings by both adults and children

The media could not be loaded. I’ve come to realise that’s I need a higher mg grade of paper for my watercolour paintings. Although I’ve produced some lovely art in this book, with being a beginner, I’ve used to much water as I’ve painted and the paper grade just couldn’t hold the water very well.This results in the paper drying and raising in places where the waters sat. I think this grade is better for pencil drawing and light watercolours maybe with watercolour pencils.The paper is lovely and smooth and easy to work with it just wasn’t the right grade for my style of painting …lots of layering of water and details.I’d buy this brand again just a higher mg 300-350mg so that I can have my paintings dry flat not bumpy.

Bought as a present for my partner who does a lot of crafting and she has made a variety of things with it.

Does what it says - lovely thick paper

Exactly as described and arrived on the same day as ordered as requested!

Smooth paper, perfect for all my painting amd drawing.

This watercolour paper is ok for practice and maybe for kids, but it’s no good for the actual painting. Even as a beginner I quickly realised I need a better watercolour paper at least 25% cotton if I want to do a decent painting. So, for me, absolutely not worth it.
