Bee Paper 100% Rag 140# Cold Press Watercolor Paper Pack, 6-Inch by 9-Inch, 50 Sheets per Pack

Worth paying for 100% cotton paper that accepts water colour without very little buckling. Will definitely be ordering more

Lovely to paint on and just the right size for me.

I tried the paper yesterday. It is A5 in size and costs approximately 40p per sheet. It works well with wet on wet and also wet on dry. It holds the water without buckling. Lifting paint from the paper is slightly more difficult than other expensive cotton based paper but, with a little patience, it can be done. I also found that I could use either side of the paper to paint on. The paper is thick enough for the paint not to show through on the other side.

So I've been using this paper for several months and now I can give my opinion. I'm not gonna say it's bad, but it's definitely not great or the right paper for me. Blending is really hard, the paint won't move and lifting is pretty much impossible. Some people might actually like this characteristics but I prefer bockingford which has a similar price or might even be cheaper by the sheet. I like that the paper doesn't buckle and that it takes ink line work pretty well. It's ok for quick sketches, line and wash and it's actually great for gouache and oil pastels but it doesn't take many layers. You might need to adapt the way you paint to this paper. Finally, check it very well if you do buy it. Mine came with one sheet missing and half of the sheets with an indentation across the middle. I don't think the company has very strict quality control. The vendor was great and I got a refund. I'll see if I can post photos of different media. I might buy it again in the future for gouache and oil pastels but will avoid it for watercolurs.

This is incredible quality watercolor paper for its price point, and is now my go-to for swatching and drafts. Its a good weight and doesn't buckle as much as many other similar papers. It would work great for painting holiday cards or for an art journal. Ngl, it doesn't quite compare to the top cotton rag papers. The sizing works well for a few washes, even a light, quickly removed coat of resist, but expect some tearing/staining with colored resist that stays on too long. And the size doesn't hold up to even a gentle scrub unfortunately. Even still, watercolors move beautifully over this paper, so I will be using this as my primary test paper going forward. Great product.

The best

Igual q la foto, buen producto, se ve de buena calidad.

Le papier est entre le grain fin et satiné, employé avec des couleurs "Artist" Daler Rowney, il restitue avec fidélité ces dernières.Travail dans l'humide.Il réagit bien mais gondole assez vite si trop d'eau, donc bien prévoir l'ordonnancement de ses lavis. J'ai remarqué qu'il était vraiment long à sécher naturellement, après des "essais" sans prétention, le lendemain, la feuille à repris ses formes. Il supporte quelques repentis aussi.Travail dans le sec.Rien à dire c'est tout simplement parfait.Mes conclusions, papier étonnant, découvert grâce à Manu de Youtube, excellent rapport qualité prix, permet à peu de frais de s'exercer, de peindre sur du 100% coton. Devant bien avouer, qu'après avoir utilisé quelques feuilles, je n'ai pas hésité à en recommander 50 de plus.Bien je recommande.

good paper but not my favorite
