Product description
This cold-pressed watercolor paper pad offers 100 loose sheets of 5 x 7 inch white paper that helps artists and students practice washes, studies, and small finished pieces. Its 140 lb weight and textured surface support wet and dry media while reducing excessive buckling, making it easy to work with on a variety of watercolor techniques and classroom projects.
Key Points
The sheet size is compact and convenient for sketchbooks, postcards, and study pieces. This pack of 100 promotes frequent practice and sharing in workshops or art classes. The paper is acid-free, which helps preserve pigments and prevents yellowing over time according to the manufacturer. For mixed media work this paper accepts pencil, ink, gouache, and light acrylic layers without excessive bleed-through. ๐จ
Technical Specifications
- Name: Donyang 5x7 Watercolor Paper
- Weight: 140 lb / 300 gsm
- Surface: Cold pressed textured paper
- Quantity: 100 sheets
- Size: 5 x 7 inches
Benefits
The cold-press texture allows for controlled pigment distribution and visible granulation when desired, which can enhance landscapes and textured washes. The absorbency is balanced so colors blend smoothly while still allowing for reworking in many techniques. 140 lb stiffness gives more resistance against warping than lighter papers, and 300 gsm signals a substantial sheet that stands up to repeated layering in studies. For teachers and students this combination offers a cost-effective way to practice fundamentals without constantly changing materials. ๐๏ธ
Usage Recommendations
Use a light amount of water on initial washes to limit any potential curling during longer sessions. For heavier wet-on-wet techniques consider stretching the sheets first or taping them down to a rigid board to keep edges flat. The paper works well with pens and markers for mixed media pieces, but heavy marker saturation may show through, so test on a corner when combining dense ink with water. Keep sheets flat in a dry place to maintain quality and prevent edge damage during storage. ๐๏ธ.
