Question 1

Is this really good for water coloring?

Accepted Answer

I love to save a buck, but this paper makes me hate watercoloring. I started out with this paper but it made me so frustrated I almost gave up entirely and when I put my mind to something, I'm like a dog with a bone.

I use this to strictly for brushstroke drills, and it's so bleep bleep finicky it helped me learn water control. But I think you'll be a LOT happier if you purchase an Arteza watercolor journal, even though the weight is less than 140lb.

For anything using wet/wet technique, I go with nothing short of 100% cotton in any brand and cut the paper into quarters to save money.

Question 2

What is the content of the paper? It isn't stated in the description, but I would like to know if it's 100% cotton or not.

Accepted Answer

This is not 100% cotton. It's pretty good as far as cellulose paper goes though! Just don't expect it to hold up like Arches or other 100% cotton papers if you're completely soaking it or doing lots of scrubbing.

Question 3

Would this paper be good to use to print an image on, then colorize the printed image with watercolor pencils and water applied with brushes?

Accepted Answer

Well, one thing is that you might have to cut it down to make a standard size width. It’s 9” across and your printer is probably set up to use normal 8.5 x 11 paper. So there’s that. 
I believe I tried it some time back and it didn’t work in my HP multi-function printer; however, I have another idea for you. 
This is 140 lb paper. If you are looking for heavier paper than normal, abs not specifically watercolor paper- here’s a thought. I have used the Nenah 8.5 x11,  110 lb paper and that runs fine through my printer. I use that to print free images I’ve found online and I do coloring that way. I can color with watercolor pencils abs then go over it with my water/aqua brushes. They only let a teeny bit of water out at a time and that paper holds up. It also holds up great with markers and no bleed-thru. I have used the Crayola fine tip markers, Tombow, the Bic markers that are similar to sharpies and those come in ulta fine and fine tip, as well, and others. 
I have on order some 120 lb paper to try and 1) see if it will work for water coloring printed images & 2) go through my printer. 
I haven’t used the Neenah 110 lb for my actual watercolor paints, because I don’t think it would hold up. 
I’m not a real artist, I just do it for fun, and make cards, for stress relief, etc.

Question 4

can you just put it on the easel? Or you need to put a piece of paper on the drawing board?

Accepted Answer

There are 30 sheets attached at the top of this pad.  You can put the whole pad on an easel or you can take one sheet and use it on a drawing board.  I hope that helps!
