Review: Love it -a real deal - As a beginner in watercolor, I've tried ALL THE PAPER..it's crazy but I have. The problem I have had with alternatives to 100% cotton is the way the pigment lays down and looks after drying. It's uneven and hard to see your real progress unless you're using the real thing. Fabriano is the answer and it's such a deal. I see one reviewer got 12 pages but I didn't. I got all 50 pages in a thick pad and I feel fine using it for anything from exercises to painting something like florals. You can really see how you'r strokes are improving etc. Love it. This is officially the paper I'm buying when I'm not buying arches, hahnemuhl, baohoang, winsor & Newton paper. This is a real deal and a generous amount in a large thick pad. So happy with it. Review: Good thickness for lighter washes - I like to do washes on top of my ink drawings. I'm not a fan of thick (300gsm) paper, so I bought this instead. Works just as well for lightly painting colors, and I like that it's thinner and more... paper-y. ## Features - This cotton/alpha cellulose watercolor paper is excellent for watercolor, gouache, acrylic, ink, charcoal and greeting card design - Paper performs and feels like 100% cotton rag and is exceptionally absorbent - Machine-made, acid-free, and sized internally and externally - Priced for students and beginners - Made in Italy ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005NQ27UM | | Best Sellers Rank | #6,168 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #39 in Watercolor Paper | | Brand | Fabriano | | Brand Name | Fabriano | | Color | White - 50 Sheets | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 718 Reviews | | Included Components | 1 Pad | | Item Dimensions L x W | 12.1"L x 9.05"W | | Item Type Name | Cold Press Watercolor Pad | | Item Weight | 2.7 pounds | | Manufacturer | Fabriano | | Manufacturer Part Number | 71-95030022 | | Material | Paper | | Material Type | Paper | | Model Number | 71-95030022 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Package Size Name | 50 Sheet Pack | | Paper Dimensions | 9 x 12 inches | | Paper Finish | Watercolor | | Paper Weight | 15 | | Product Dimensions | 12.1"L x 9.05"W | | Recommended Uses For Product | Watercolor | | Sheet Count | 50 | | Style | Cold Press | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | No. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Fabriano - **Color:** White - 50 Sheets - **Material:** Paper - **Paper Dimensions:** 9 x 12 inches - **Paper Finish:** Watercolor ## Images ![Fabriano Studio Watercolor Pad, Cold-Press, 9" x 12", 140 lb., 50 Sheets - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71nfqC66+PL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: does it need to be stretched?** A: I like it better stretched. As it is only 140 lb, I think it does better when stretched. **Q: I love fabriano paper but i find that my art photographs are not white but off-white. is white not white? what can i do?** A: Most traditional "white" watercolor paper is an off white shade. You can look for special white papers that do have more true white shade, such as; Fabriano Artistico Extra White Watercolor Paper and Arches Bright White Aquarelle Watercolour Paper . These are also sold online at other specific art supply sites. Don't know if these are sold on Amazon, but you can check. **Q: is the sizing plant based or animal based?** A: Paper is 25% cotton and I believe the other 75% is some sort of tree pulp. All plant based materials. This is more of an introductory level of paper. Higher quality is usually 100% cotton. Not sure what you mean by is “sizing” plant based? **Q: Does it have 50 sheets? or 12 sheets? please confirm** A: This has 50 sheets. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it -a real deal *by A***E on August 16, 2024* As a beginner in watercolor, I've tried ALL THE PAPER..it's crazy but I have.

Works just as well for lightly painting colors, and I like that it's thinner and more... paper-y. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Price to quality = great *by C***D on September 9, 2025* I really like this paper. It’s not 100% cotton as it states but it retains water well. I’ve been painting with water colors now for about six months and using student grade wood pulp paper and wondering why good paints like Windsor Newton look chalky or don’t flow on the paper - giving me that beautiful translucency i so love. It’s the paper lol. So I suggest this paper to those looking for a step up but don’t want to pay exorbitant prices for watercolor paper. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/13084224-fabriano-studio-watercolor-pad-cold-press-9-x-12-140](https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/13084224-fabriano-studio-watercolor-pad-cold-press-9-x-12-140) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kenya* *Store origin: KE* *Last updated: 2026-10-26*
