Overview
A 20-sheet pad of 9 by 12 inch cold-pressed watercolor paper at 140 lb / 300 gsm, built for watercolor and mixed media work.
140 lb cold-pressed is the standard weight for watercolor paper that needs to hold up to wet washes without buckling badly, and the textured surface is what most people picture when they think of watercolor paper. Hapikalor lists it as acid-free and FSC certified, which speaks to longevity and sourcing rather than performance.
- 9 x 12 inch pad, 20 sheets
- 140 lb / 300 gsm cold-pressed
- Acid-free, FSC certified paper
- Suited to watercolor, acrylic, pencil and mixed media
Who it's for
Reasonable for students and hobbyists practicing watercolor technique or working across mixed media. Not a large-format pad, so it's not suited to bigger studio pieces.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 140 lb weight resists buckling under washes
- Works across watercolor and several other mediums
- Acid-free, neutral pH paper
- Affordable price point for practice work
- Only 20 sheets per pad
- Not cotton paper, so it won't match premium stock for finished pieces
Performance notes
The cold-pressed, slightly textured surface suits washes and mixed media alike, and Hapikalor markets it as acid-free with a neutral pH for longer-lasting color. It's rated to take watercolor, acrylic, colored pencil, graphite, pen, marker, charcoal and pastel.
