Arrived on time and in great condition. The paper is very well made. Has a nice texture and weight. A great alternative to Arches for a less expensive buy.

The pads come with a hard plastic leaf shape blade to detach the paper from the block, but I still tore a few sheets due to the over abundance of glue. I've been participating in the annual Inktober on Instagram that we're doing ink and watercolor washes, this paper has been awesome! I've been cutting the sheets in half for each day project. The paper takes ink well; holds lots of water without warping too badly (I do tape mine sheets down); watercolor paints take well also! I'm pleased with the blocks for the price.

I LOVE this paper. I have 3 different sizes and 2 different finishes. HP and CP and both the academy and the professional. I've watched a lot of reviews on YT and most of the people reviewing the paper all love it. I LOVE it and I am going go a step further and say I like it a lot better than Arches (I bought some at michael's just to see what all the hubbub was about I wasn't impressed. And for the price???!!!) I really appreciate the bauhuang paper. The quality, the pricepoint and that I can just click on it here without having to spend $30 in gas just to get to the store where they sell the Arches (on top of paying the outrageous amount for the paper itself). I know a lot of people are going to give me flak about my opinion, but then again, it's just that, this is MY opinion, my story and I'm a stickin to it!

First time using this paper with water soluble graphite. Takes many layers, love that it is in a block so I don’t have to tape down to a board. Reasonably priced. I think this paper will now be my go to for watercolor.

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.

I am very impressed with the performance of this watercolor paper. It takes multiple washes and lifting like a pro. This paper is 100% cotton and is comparable to Arches at less than a third of the cost. I have been doing a lot more painting as I am not afraid of making a mistake (like I am with supper expensive paper). My only complaint is the sizing that they use on the block is difficult to cut through with a palette knife (which is what I usually use to remove the sheet from the block) and tends to tear. I have started using a utility knife with better results, but don’t like the increased risk of cutting myself. Other than that, LOVE LOVE LOVE this paper.
