This paper is awesome for this beginner, i enjoy painting on it more than other super expensive papers. Perfect for practicing new techniques, practicing painting, doodling - whatever. They come in a 3 pack so i labeled one for my granddaughter.

Nice and thick. Worth every penny. Property of ease of reworking makes it ideal for beginners.

The glue meant to bind these into the pad is useless. Defective from the first page to the last and all in between.

This paper absorbs water unevenly and buckles in the first wash. It is at once too absorbent and not absorbent enough. The smell coming from this book is absolutely rancid.

The texture of the paper is like construction paper. The only redeeming factor of this paper is the price, and there are just a million other options. I'm a beginner, but these paper just cause frustration.
