Overview
A 9x12 inch pad of Strathmore 300 Series watercolor paper, 24 sheets at 140lb (300gsm), acid-free. Suited to painters and students working in watercolor or mixed media who want a straightforward pad without added texture claims.
There's very little seller copy or spec detail attached to this listing beyond the paper weight and acid-free note, so this page sticks to what's confirmed rather than guessing at surface texture or wet strength. Strathmore's 300 Series sits in the brand's student-to-intermediate tier, and 140lb is the standard weight most watercolor pads use for washes.

Who it's for
Students and hobby painters who need a workable, acid-free watercolor pad for practice pieces, sketches, and mixed-media journaling. Not the pick for anyone who needs a specific surface finish confirmed before buying, since that detail isn't listed here.
Pros and cons
- Acid-free, so finished art resists yellowing over time
- 140lb weight handles typical watercolor washes
- 9x12 size works for both painting and journaling
- Surface finish (cold press or hot press) isn't specified in this listing
Performance notes
At 140lb (300gsm), the paper sits at the common weight for student watercolor pads, thick enough to take light to moderate washes without soaking through immediately. Being acid-free means finished pieces resist yellowing during storage.
