Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolor Paper, Wired, 5" x 7", Cold Pressed

This watercolor paper is well made. It absorbs water well keeping the area wet long enough for the user to add color. The texture of the cold press paper helps saturate the colors well. Its size is perfect for small paintings. A must have for sure. Good value for money.

Absolutely fantastic paper. I use it for color pencil, ink and watercolor drawings and it allows indentation, erasing, layering etc. It is smooth but with enough surface texture for the pigments, and unlike some other cotton paper I use, it doesn't tend to tear. The paint is absorbed smoothly without grittiness.

I usually use Etchr or Saunders Waterford, but I decided to give this a try. The paper feels slightly different, but not in a bad way. Etchr and Saunders feels very velvety, almost like suede, and while this didn't have that texture, it performed very well. Water seems to dry SLIGHTLY quicker, and it takes a lot of glazes very well. I didn't have any issues with blooming, but I mostly work wet on dry. Granulating watercolors looked great on this. My only complaint is that the wire bound pad doesn't come in more sizes, and I prefer to work in this format. I don't do large wet washes or lift colors, so I can't help with that. Over all, great paper, as expected from W&N. Will purchase again.

What a lovely watercolor book. I’m actually painting!!! Tried a few options and this is the one I reach for.

I like this paper. It’s a watercolor pad not Block which works well on the go. The size is easy to carry and is durable. It can handle wet on wet and the texture is uniform. It’s very easy to use and I feel it’s a good value item.

It’s great watercolor paper. Good color. Good flow. Honestly I think I like it better than more popular brands for watercolor paper.

Windsor-Newton products always work well for watercolors.

This paper works very well for me.. I have had no issues with all the usual watercolor techniques. I like this block and paper detaches easily. Prefer it over taping.
