Fabriano 1264 Watercolor Pad, Bright White

I will be buying this paper again. I use paper for card making with distress inks & for watercolor painting. This paper worked nicely with both inks & watercolor paints. With ink, water flick/lift causes nice distressed effect. I have tried many different brands of paper, & finally found one that works for both. I like the texture also. Works better than Ranger paper & Arches for inks.

This sketchbook does the trick. It is not 100% cotton but is definitely higher quality paper than you get with most brands in this price range. I have a set of Fabriano paints, which I love, and is why I decided to try out their sketchbook. I’m glad I did. I truly enjoy using this book. The spiral binder allows the book to lay flat. It also has a perforated edge if you want to remove the page. This is not highly textured paper, and performs well to all types of painting styles. You can see in the photo, I did a background wash in this painting and the paper didn’t warp and dried completely flat. I do recommend this book to anyone who enjoys playing with paints, inks, liners, etc. You won’t be disappointed in your finished creation.

The bright whiteness will make the colors pop nicely. Anyway, it just arrived so I haven't used it yet but I can tell it's going to be just what I was looking for.

Quality paper. I like to use it in drawing classes and sketching outdoors. It holds up well to sketching, erasing, and adding watercolor.

I am about to purchase my 2nd Fabriano 1264 Watercolor Pad. I love everything about this Watercolor pad. I love the size, 7x10, even though it comes in other sizes. I love that the paper is 100% cotton and the best quality for watercolor painting; because not all 100% cotton watercolor pads are created equal. I have a 100% cotton watercolor pad in a beautiful pink leather binder, but it's made in China and the paper dulls the watercolors and it does not perform like high quality papers. I love the wire binding that makes it so easy to flip the pages and makes it seem more casual and user friendly. Being fairly new to watercolor painting I am always hesitant to just pick up my paintbrush and paint in my other sketchbooks in case I mess up. The reason I'm hesitant, is because you cannot just tear out the page in my other sketchbooks. But with my Fabriano pad I can simply tear out the perforated page if I mess up, and I'm not stuck with an ugly page messing up my sketchbook. You simply cannot beat the quality, the performance, and the great price of this Fabriano watercolor pad. Try it, you'll love it like I do, I'm sure.

The pad and paper is very nice. The packaging was just the book in a box. Next time protect it in some waterproof packaging. I live where the rain is daily and unpredictable. Grazie.

Fast delivery for a quality product.

I love this sketchbook. It takes on washes and I can do scrubbing and lifting techniques very easily. I mostly use it for warm ups and studies. But if I like the painting a lot, i just tear off the page and frame it. This is just as good as the Fabriano Studio paper and i honestly do not know what the difference between the two except that this is cheaper somewhat.

Excelente papel. Buen tamaño. Lo volveré a comprar.

Si trabajas con mucha agua se doblará un poco la hoja

Le gustó mucho a la peryque se lo regale, tiene experiencia en dibujo, así que lo considero bueno.

Buen papel para practicar seco sobre seco. No aguanta mucho si vas a hacer muchos lavados húmedos o trabajar el pap mucho.

Excelente! usualmente pintaba en Canson de 300 gr, quise intentar fabriano y quedó brutal
