NUCASSO Watercolour Paper Pad - Pack of 2 - A4 x 30 Sheets – Natural White 300 GSM Student Grade, Cold-Pressed, Glue Bound Water Colour Sketchbook for Wet, Dry & Mixed Media (30 Sheets x 2 Packs)

Really pleased with this paper . Good , thick sheets - and double sided . Fantastic quality for the price .

I used this NUCASSO watercolor paper for my kingfisher painting - not completed yet i might add, and I’m really impressed with the quality! The 300 GSM weight makes it sturdy enough to handle multiple layers of paint without buckling or warping. The natural white color really makes the colors pop, and the texture is just right for watercolors, smooth enough for detailed work but with enough tooth to hold the paint well.It’s great for students or anyone just starting out with watercolors, offering a professional feel at a student-friendly price. If you’re looking for a reliable watercolor paper for your next project, this pad is a solid choice!

Not the best but by far not the worst !Overall I was pleasantly surprised. The paper is thick with one side textured and the other smooth, off white in colour.The first painting I used the textured side, I didn’t wet it first and taped it down. It held up very well with the amount of water I used. I’m a mixed media artist, using inks as well but the paper coped well very little buckling.The smooth side painting I wet the paper first and taped down , again lots of medium and water , the paper definitely buckled more but again for a cheap paper not bad at all so I couldn’t fault the absorbency and functionality of the paper.Overall yes I would recommend if you’re looking at something on the lower end of the price range and starting your watercolour journey

Bought it for my daughter.She is happy with it.It was half price so even better

Great product. Idea for water colour

Why did you choose this product over others?:It was just what I was looking for.

At my first Watercolour class presented with this quality paper. Good thick holds paint. Realise I needed to order some. This paper is perfect for water colour and some mixed media.

I'll start by saying that I'm a beginner to water colour painting and was really interested in the wet on wet technique where there is quite a bit of water on the page before you add the paint. I had attempted this at first on a really cheap pad of water colour paper that was very thin. That paper has buckled whilst painting, so I wanted thicker water colour paper that would be able to properly cope with the water. The Nucasso Watercolour pad has nice feeling thick paper, so I was hoping that it would be better than the other cheap paper I'd previously tried. However, it soon became apparent that it was buckling as I was painting my first picture with it. I carried on as best I could, generally just using wet on dry after the initial disappointment. However, once it had dried, it seemed to have flattened itself out again. As I'm new to this, I don't know if that is just the way it always is, but not come across anyone mentioning this in tutorials I've viewed! The end picture didn't work out bad, I'm quite happy with it, but just a little concerned that I'll be adjusting how I paint just because the paper isn't right. I did paint straight from the pad, so didn't have the paper stuck down to a board with making tape. Could that be the reason for the buckling? Would be good to know and I will have to test that out at some point. The paper is a good size and feels nice and thick, with a good number of pages, so I think it's probably good value, just unsure of the suitability for wet on wet, but the water didn't soak through to the page below which is good.
