Shizen Design Watercolor Paper, 8.5 x 11 inch 200GSM Cotton Rag Paper Deckled Edge, Torn Paper, Handmade Paper Sheets for Drawing, Watercolor, Sketching

Gorgeous handmade paper - far exceeded my expectations! I was able to successfully print menus using my home printer and they came out beautifully! The only downside is that the sheets are slightly bigger than US letter size so I had to hand tear each side a little to make it fit in my printer. Didn’t take long though (pro tip - score well and then wet the score line before tearing, to maintain the deckled edge).Will definitely be buying more!

Purchased to use for watercolor painting. I absolutely love it!!! It feels so soft and pliable. Used to do some wet on wet painting and it held up great. May need a little ironing but really nothing like a 140 lb paper would need. I also adore the rough edges and primitive look of it overall.

This was purchased as a gift for my niece. She paints and does charcoal drawings.

I like the texture and the way paint moves on the surface. I like the way the paper dries flat. This particular weight is a little thin, however.

Don't get me wrong, the paper is beautiful, but the sizing is too light to do watercolor justice. It is very absorbent. You might be able to use it for gouache, but I can't say. There are better options out there

It’s 100% cotton but very very unforgiving so plan well.

I don’t know why people hate this paper. But I use it for watercolors and love it! The paper doesn’t curl up at all, it just stays flat. I was able to do 3-4 layers of wash over an area before it tore up a bit, but you can’t tell. Still love this paper.

I used this paper to paint and bind a book! It worked perfectly!
