This is Winsor Newton Cotman 140lbs watercolour paper. I bought this along with a Strathmore pad (which I used up before I tried out this paper). I’ve been trying to use it up, so as not to have wasted money on it, but I’m fed up with this paper. I don’t recommend it and I don’t think I’ll finish the rest of it, unless I use it for colour swatches. To me, it feels as if it’s not absorbing water or paint. The colour often beads up on the surface and is not distributed evenly, or even close to it. It hardly colours the paper except for where you lift your brush, where you will end up with a drop of fully saturated paint that refuses to spread by itself or with help. A damp, nearly dry brush can pick up a majority of dried paint by brushing gently across the paper (even if it hardly touches, so don’t get it confused with scrubbing). To me, it doesn’t seem absorbent almost at all; therefore, I recommend saving your money to spend on better paper. I’ve used cheaper and lighter weight paper before which took watercolour better than this did. I was using a mix of Cotman and artist quality paints that I’m familiar with, so I know how the paint usually reacts. Even if you’re just a beginner, choose a different paper. There’s better student quality paper out there.
