Overview
A foldover binding gathers the white watercolor sheets along one edge, giving a pad that is easy to flip through while painting. The paper is sized for painting, gouache, mixed media and ink.
Heavy sheets support wet techniques, and the pad binding holds the paper together for storage and transport. The sheet count per pad is modest, so frequent practice runs through it quickly.
Who it's for
Art students and hobby painters working in watercolor, gouache or ink get a sturdy pad for practice and finished studies. Professionals selling originals should look for archival cotton stock.

Performance notes
Paper weight governs how much water a sheet absorbs before it ripples, and heavy sheets resist buckling under moderate washes. Gouache and ink layer cleanly on a stable surface. The foldover binding holds the sheets attached at one edge while working.
