Newbested 100PCS White Watercolor Paper, Watercolor Paper Cold Press Cut Bulk for Watercolorist Students Beginning Artists 4.7 by 6.7 Inches with 50Pcs White Envelope 5 by 6.8 Inches

Almost a month since I wrote this review, and the problems with this listing still exist. Take a good look at the positive reviewers; I would be skeptical of any reviews they've done elsewhere.Description clearly states in at least two spots that 100 pieces of watercolor paper are included, plus 50 envelopes. The picture of the product indicates that there are 150 pieces included. I received 50 of each - very disappointed in these deceptive practices! No way to get ahold of seller except to initiate a refund/return. Newbested: you owe me another 50 sheets of watercolor paper.

This is poor quality paper, not really watercolor paper at all. Very thin. Can't tape it down as tape pulls parts of paper up when removed. Can't erase marks. And to top it all off, the paper doesn't even fit in the envelope! I had to shave an edge off after I painted on it in order to mail it to someone. AND it doesn't even have glue on the envelope to seal it. I used tape. This is a total waste of money. You can buy envelopes and cut your own, quality, paper for less money. DO NOT BUY THIS!

Low quality paper, doesn't even fit the envelopes it comes with.

I was really looking forward to some new art projects with this "100% rag cotton paper" but it was a total diappointment. I did my first painting, but the paper was very thing and not very absorbent. When I got myself an envelope, they were also very thin, didn't have any glue on the edge of the envelope and the paper did not fit inside the envelope. What a waste of time, talent and money.

The note cards are great for watercolor. They are thick without being too stiff, and hold the water well. The envelopes are too small, the note cards don't go in the envelopes. I had to trim my notes to put them in the envelopes. Then I realized the envelopes don't seal so I have to tape them shut, they look horrible. The envelope gets 1 star and the note cards get 4 stars. I also purchased the note cards without realizing they weren't folded greeting cards. Hope this helps.

This product IS usable. It is VERY thin. And very fabric-y in a sense. I’d be curious what “weight” paper it is...Much, much thinner than 90# cotton watercolor. Tape peels it very easily. Minimal water required. So, yes, I have figured out how to use it well enough to not return, but feel like a buyer-beware is necessary. Also, it is a flat card (postcard style) BUT way too flimsy to send as a flat card... and the tolerance for the envelope is tight, so I use them to make a card front but trim them down quite a bit to be able to fit the card stock made card into the envelope. I gave it a 3 star because I’m not sure I’d purchase again, but they are usable if you’re creative in problem solving.

I'm not sure if people just ended up with the wrong batches, but all of the papers I got were perfect for the type of watercolor painting style I use. The envelopes were perfectly sized for the papers, the right level of tight fit I liked. They were properly absorbent for watercolor use, a bit too absorbent for alcohol ink use. I daresay I don't know like that it's only 50 envelopes, as I've run out of envelopes to continue mailing things out. I don't mind that they don't self-seal as I use a wax seal to send out my gifts.Also, I didn't have an issue with erasing pencil lines on this paper, nor did I have an issue with removing masking tape from the paper. Perhaps everyone complaining hasn't experimented properly with their tools or isn't art-trained well enough to make use of their paper and expect a degree of quality of materials that, frankly, seems a bit too whiny for them to call themselves artists. I adapt.

I bought this for my daughter to make customized greeting cards. The quality is good and takes watercolors well. However, the paper is not cut enough to slide into the envelopes. It measures exactly with the dimensions listed in the description, so it's our fault for not realizing a 6.8 envelope would not allow for a 6.7 card to slide in. Still, it's disappointing to think I was getting something that would eliminate a step (cutting the paper to size) and it doesn't.
