MEEDEN 5X7 Watercolor Paper Block, 20 Sheets (140lb/300gsm), Smooth Surface 100% Cotton, Hot Press, Acid-Free Art Paper for Painting & Drawing, Wet, Mixed Media

I love this paper so much. It's a great alternative to Arches - comparable quality and texture, but more economical. It's a very heavyweight, sturdy paper. I've purchased it in many different sizes, and they've all been great. One word of caution: it's harder to get this paper off the block than any other block I've used, so be sure to remove it slowly and gently, or you may end up ripping the paper (I've ruined more than one painting trying to remove it too quickly). All in all, I highly recommend this paper to watercolor artists!

So far I've I tested watercolor, colored pencil, and a little bit of gouache on this paper. It's wonderful for watercolor and gouache (and I'm sure for acrylics as well). Watercolor is semi-permanent on this paper which I like but others may not. It's not my favorite for colored pencil (I prefer an even smoother surface) but I realize this isn't made for pencil. There was minimal warping which went away on its own and it stood up to a lot of water and scrubbing.

Holds water well and dries slowly which is super helpful. Very good quality for paper considered student grade.

This is good 100% cotton watercolor paper!

The block is heavily glued on all four sides making it very difficult to separate without tearing. Very, very pleased with the quality of the paper, just wish it wasn't completely glued.

Love it.

This is wonderful paper! I use the cold pressed and it’s very comparable to Arches! I love Arches paper but this is my go to because it’s very similar but a little less expensive.

At first, I was not happy, as the paper says it is 4.9 " x 7". Standard US size would be 5x7, so without matting, this paper will not fill well in a frame.But...I opened it and discovered that it's a block! It also came with a pretty leaf tool to help you remove page by page. The unfortunate design is having about an inch on one side without glue. This is a problem if you use a lot of water, as you will get vertical warping. Thankfully, this is hot press paper to make cards, so I won't be using a lot of water.I tried the paper, and it works well. I have actually heard of this Baohong brand before, and my first time trying the brand.I was pleased with my first result. I used the back side of the cover page that protects the block.

Convenient size and decent quality

Excelente papel, Algo caro pero con calidad excelente, la granulacion fluye en Este papel, revisar la medida.

Love this paper. Not been painting that long and over the last few months have tried 6 or 7 different makes of paper. This is by far my favourite and gives the best results. As it’s a glued block you need to take care separating each sheet but I have managed to not tear any yet. (I use a scalpel blade)Would highly recommend to new artists.

i have used Baohong paper before and it suits my style of painting. using it wet on wet or for fine detail. although it says Meeden on listing it says Baohong on cover.

Esce anche quella fogliolina di plastica per separare i fogli, non me lo aspettavo!100% cotone, e a un prezzo ragionevole
