Artisto Watercolor Pads 5.5x8.5”, Pack of 3 (90 Sheets), Spiral Bound, Acid-Free Paper, 140lb (300gsm), Perfect for Most Wet & Dry Media, Ideal for Beginners, Artists & Professionals

Was recommended this for watercolour paintings. Fits a 7" x 9" mount and frame, so a great item. Great absorbency. Has perforations so you can tear the individual papers out. Highly recommend for smaller artworks and practice pieces.

Good but too expensive for uk customers

I wish I could have bought 1 to see if I liked it first. Luckily I do so the 3 pack was worth it

I learned about this product from a watercolor artist on YouTube. She talks about it all the time so I thought I would give it a try. I am so happy I did. It really is great paper. The size for me is perfect. I like the spiral binding and the fact that each page is perforated. What a nice bonus. The weight of the paper is also ideal. It handles wet in wet watercolor wonderfully and has a nice texture. So many good selling points. Mostly though, is the price. I can't believe the price! Three notebooks of 30 sheets each, for $23. It is definitely my new affordable go-to paper.

Value for money

I bought these (3pak) on the recommendation of a You Tuber. She’s been painting daily for 25 years and says she’s tried every paper out there. For the price, these are really good quality. Nice and heavy with the right amount of texture. I’m not sure what the paper consists of as far as cotton content , but the water absorbency is excellent. I do quite a bit of wet on wet and negative painting and it holds up just fine to multiple water applications. I even use both sides of the paper. Before I bought these I found that I had stacks of paintings, all different sizes stashed in different drawers. Some are of me trying a new technique or brush stroke drills. Now I can keep them, if I want to, in the tablets. If I want to trash them, that’s easy enough because the paper is perforated. I can date them on the front so I can look back and see the progress I’ve made. Also, they are nice for travel. The size isn’t as intimidating as a full size of expensive watercolor paper. So glad I took that You Tubers advise! I think they cost approximately $23 for 3 tablets.

These Artisto Watercolor Pads are great! They do not bleed through with use of watercolor paints or other mixed media such as acrylics. The paper will buckle a bit with heavier paints, but straightens with pressure. I also love the texture of the paper.
