sandysandy: This watercolour paper is the best brand I’ve found that can really take a lot of water but doesn’t cost an arm and leg. Holds bright colors well. I can always count on Strathmore paper to be the same product every time.

ddmoss: I use this hot press watercolor paper. It is amazing and it responds to water and paint beautifully. I do buy it again and again.

BaileyBailey: This paper is one I come back to again and again. I like the texture and thickness of it. It’s also very sturdy and handles layering and lifting beautifully. If you’re looking for a great quality yet affordable paper, Strathmore doesn’t disappoint.

LilRickyD: Had previously bought 2 packs of this, used it up, and just bought two more. I’m only a few months into watercolor painting, but this paper is reasonably priced and handles a fair amount of water. I’ve been using it for my learning projects and at 140lbs it’s heavy enough. Light buckling at worst, which isn’t a problem. I tape the edges down on many of my projects and that all but eliminated any waves. I’ll buy more when needed.

patticake: When I first got into watercolor painting, I experimented with all sorts of watercolor paper including this, Strathmore 140-205 Ready Cut Watercolor, Cold Press, 5" x 7", White, 25 Sheets. I liked 'em, but I didn't really realize how good they are.

A few years down the road with lots of experience with watercolors, I can really appreciate this paper. It's 100% cotton, and after talking to the folks at Strathmore a while back, I discovered it's also vegan. Yay, Strathmore! It holds paint well, it absorbs liquid at the perfect rate, the sizing is ideal for wet washes and dry brush techniques. Paints look great on this paper, and it never gets in the way of what I'm doing, which some paper does.

You may already know that Strathmore's 100 series is their entry level paper, then there's the 200 series, 300 series and 400 series, and this - their 500 series - is their highest quality watercolor paper series. And you can tell the difference.

So I'm happy I came back to these 5x7 series 500 sheets. I think I'll order some bigger Strathmore 500 paper, too. Good stuff! I'd say it's good for every level of watercolor painter.
