## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Holds up to many changes, amazing product.
*by A***R on May 12, 2024*

I got this for my sister as she is loving her watercolor paints. This is a great product for watercolor painters. The colors are so vibrant on it after it dries, it holds up to many changes that you can make on it and it holds up to consistent painting. My sister has made constant changes on her piece and still isn't finished with it, but this has held up to her consistent changes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for gouache
*by E***Y on May 20, 2025*

I paint with gouache a lot on Bristol, but I wanted to expand my painting experience and these boards are 100% worth it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A blast to paint on!
*by K***E on December 27, 2024*

I love everything about this watercolor panel! I used a combination of inktense and ohuhus new pupe markers, which both melted down and spread absolutely beautifully! It was my first time using a board like this, as most other watercolor boards I've used seemed to be more like generic canvas boards primed with watercolor ground. This is waaaay different to that or even canson watercolor panels... It's got a tight grainy texture, in a white coating on one side. There are no fibers as you experience in pulp paper or cotton papers... This is a very different experience, and I found even more room to lift and work with a full value scale more easily than on paper. This was true, even with my inktense pencils, long after they dried. I was even able to use some wet on wet techniques.I am particularly a fan of the price. One might think that it could get expensive, and that could be so, but for me, the value is in the ease of use and the joy it brings me. This did not fail in either department! I highly recommend these panels, which even fit depth wise in basic store frames!! I will be using these for all of my gifted works in the future!!Note: others mentioned that there's a learning curve, and they are not wrong... So go into using this as if the results will be a surprise and you won't be let down in any way!!!!
