Watercolor Paper 5"x7" 64 Sheets 📄
Reviews
Product description
This pack of watercolor sheets offers everyday practice space for students and hobbyists who paint small to medium pieces. The 5x7 watercolor paper absorbs pigment well and reduces buckling, making it easier to layer washes and achieve cleaner edges when working with watercolors or mixed media.
Key Points
The textured cold-press surface helps pigments settle evenly while keeping fine details intact. Teachers and classroom coordinators often choose pads like this because the sheets are easy to share and replace between sessions. 🎨
This paper is labeled as acid-free so colors remain truer over time according to the manufacturer. It performs with wet and dry materials including watercolor sets, acrylics, pen and ink, colored pencil, gouache, and light collage work. The pack includes enough sheets to cover multiple lessons or painting exercises, and the weight of the stock helps prevent common warping when using typical wash techniques. 🖌️
Technical Specifications
- Name: Donyang 64 Sheets Watercolor Paper
- Sheets: 64
- Size: 5 x 7 in
- Weight: 140 lb / 300 gsm
- Surface: Cold-press textured
- Acid-free: Yes
Benefits
The 140 lb / 300 gsm weight gives a noticeable stiffness that supports moderate wet-on-wet techniques while still allowing some lifting and reworking. For beginners this means fewer ruined pages due to excessive buckling. The texture provides tooth for dry media to adhere, so switching between watercolor and pencil is straightforward. Using a smaller format like 5 by 7 inches encourages quick studies and compositional experiments without wasting larger sheets. ✏️
One nuance to consider is that if you plan to use very heavy washes or large amounts of water the smaller size and paper weight may reach its limits. For large-scale wet techniques you may prefer heavier or bigger sheets. Also, while labeled acid-free, archival performance depends on storage conditions and exposure to light over years.
Usage Recommendations
Use individual sheets taped lightly to a board for more controlled flat washes and to further minimize edge lift. For multi-medium lessons, try starting with a light watercolor wash and adding ink or colored pencil once the sheet is dry. The smaller format works well for study exercises, greeting cards, practice color charts, thumbnail compositions, and classroom projects where sharing materials is practical.
Rotate sheets among students or keep a sketchbook of finished mini studies to track progress. For heavier techniques, allow longer drying times between layers and blot excess moisture rather than overworking a single area to preserve paper integrity.
