    I have tried many watercolor blocks...
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2023*

I've been using this block for a couple months. I have now used 18 of the 20 included sheets. So, I've had sufficient experience with this 5 x 7 Academy block by Baohong. I like to do wet on wet and I like using watercolor blocks. I have tried several, and this is the first that has impressed me. Firstly, it comes with 20 sheets. Secondly, the texture is beautiful under my paintings. Thirdly, this is very much the nicest paper I've worked with.Yes, I use a lot of water. Yes, the paper does buckle a little, but not like others I've worked with. Yes, my work has become more complex and detailed than in the past and I'm always growing as an artist, but still, I think this paper improves the look of my work. A lot, my friend.However, I don't recommend you purchase this block. Why, you might ask? I bought this block to test the brand, and found I strongly prefer it over others I've tried. (Excluding expensive Arches.) Because I like it so much, I've purchased the full roll of Baohong Cold Pressed for a very reasonable price here on Amazon.I would recommend you purchase the roll yourself, but I know that's a big leap. I would suggest you purchase the Baohong Sample Pack to see if you also approve of the quality and then buy the roll if you find the paper to your liking.Additionally, I would like to end by letting you know I'm a legit watercolor supply snob. I prefer top quality. I use Daniel Smith paints and Princeton Aqua Elite brushes. If this sounds like you, you'll probably like this paper. If you're happy with the products you use, don't switch!Stay wet, my friend.

    Nice 100% cotton paper!
  

*by K***1 on Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2024*

Baohong Academy Grade watercolor paper is a quality paper for a relatively inexpensive price. I’m not experienced enough in watercolor to be able to describe one paper’s attributes over another’s, but this paper has performed well for me and is much cheaper than other 100% cotton papers. This paper comes in block form, glued on all 4 sides, and a plastic “leaf” knife is included to help separate the paper from the block after your painting has thoroughly dried. Will purchase this paper again.

    Amazing quality
  

*by L***Y on Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2024*

Pros for this paper are that you don't have to worry about the paper buckling or bleeding through. Nice and thick paper hold the paint beautifully! The only con I can think of is that it's a bit difficult to separate the pages after you finish. But that a small issue really.
