Fabriano91230022 Tape Binding Acid-Free Cold Press Studio Watercolor Pad, 12 Sheets, 140 Pound, 9 \

Paper buckled right away with not much water, and though it feels nice and thick, it does not perform well. Paint kind of beads up on it and you can't spread it smoothly. You quickly end up with thick but soggy paper. It did not work any better than cheap copy paper would no matter the lightest amount of water used. Surprisingly disappointing since its a great brand and it felt so nice when I chose it in the store. Kids or adult artists alike will not have success trying to paint with any technique on this paper.
