Fabriano Artistico 140 lb. Cold Press 20 Sheet Block 9x12" - Extra White

This watercolor paper, in addition to being 100% cotton and all the other qualities one looks for in a professional watercolor paper, has INCREDIBLE lifting ability. If you DO a lot of lifting in your work, you cannot do better than this paper, no question! Of course, CP would work better than HP, but if you must use HP it will work for that, too. Absolutely no problem lifting, can't get over it. As far as the other qualities - warping, staining, laydown, etc. - it is equal to Arches, in my opinion, with the possible exception of laydown, which Arches beats every manufacturer in the world on that, so no contest, but Fabriano has Arches beat on lifting, so... for the money, this is the best deal.

I normally use another brand of watercolor paper, but I really love this Fabriano Artistico. It is a really nice surface to paint on and it performs consistently. Highly recommend it.

Very good product. The paper drank the water & pigment very nicely. I recommended the block to help with warping.

Paper is great quality but the package came bent and detached from the block. Disappointed with the quality from delivery, not the company.

This was a little cheaper than the Arches cold pressed paper pad and I liked it very much. I use it for watercolor and wet washes and bleeds of color are excellent.

A great paper. Takes a beating from this watercolor artist, I make a lot of corrections and tend to scrub my paper a lot. This paper is tough and beautiful at the same time.

I love this paper! It performs excellently. It won't make me give up Arches but I will always have this in stock as well. M. Graham earth tones and this paper were made for each other. Top of the line paper. Highly recommend.

Great watercolor paper!
