User reviews of this item:

A great idea but...

"Its a great idea but I really could not get on with it at all and, on my art teachers advice, I ended up giving it away. Its performance was so inferior to Arches or Bockingford - particualry for wet-in-wet."

Really made me improve!

"This is really exellent paper for the money, and you don't get that stomach pain when something goes wrong. Really made me improve!"

Well worth every penny!

"Excellent to 'practice' on if you are feeling a little daunted about using your 'special and expensive' watercolour paper. I have also let my children use it with their little Cotman sketchers paint boxes, they love it!!!
Well worth every penny! Go on give it a try!"

Excellent for letting children have a go at painting

"This is really excellent for letting children have a go at painting watercolours. I haven't tried it myself to practise with, but my 4 year old is doing exceptionally well using my student watercolour pan paints on it, and the price means I don't mind taking one or half of one out a day for her to draw and paint on. It's nice thick paper, card like in thickness and remains nice and flat even though she doesn't tape it down. She is effortlessly mastering the techniques on this paper that I had trouble mastering myself on watercolour paper, so I'd say it was probably better than some of those papers I started off using. In fact I'm back to purchase more of these now and a watercolour pan set for her birthday so she has a paint set of her own."

Helps remove inhibitions about wasting paper

"This pack helps remove inhibitions about wasting paper as you practice.
Good size and quality. Has helped me a lot."

Great for practising oil or acrylics

"I find this paper great for practising oil or acrylics on. Give it a couple of coats of gesso. Away you go. Cheaper and easier to store than canvas."

Good for kids - not for serious learners

"OK, so the price is excellent and for kids and messing around it's a fantastic buy. But if you're trying to be even a little bit serious about learning or practicing watercolours this is NOT the one to buy. It cockles dreadfully on wet in wet, washes are patchy and looking like a bad case of measles. If your learning this will only make your journey harder. Get something As the man on the stall says, you pays your money and you takes your choice."

Bought for practice (Ken Bromley Practice Paper Pack (50 sheets))

"I'm not that good at watercolours so bought this pack for practice. Haven't used any yet, but they seem to compare well with other makes. Might do another review when I've used a couple of sheets."

Good value for practice. (Ken Bromley Practice Paper Pack (50 sheets))

"As a beginner I wanted paper to practice on that would be as near to the same as I would paint on as possible - but not costing so much. These sheets are excellent value."

Excellent

"An excellent paper, and for the first time I was not worried about spoiling a sheet of paper and just got on with the job"

PRACTICE PAPER

"Great value if used for PRACTISING. That's what is said 'on the tin'. It baffles me why some appear to want high quality features in a super budget practice paper.

Used for dry brush or various other techniques that are not wet-in-wet or demanding of a very damp surface it gives users a textured paper that is much less expensive than high quality or archival papers.

Used for its stated purpose, it is a phenomenal value product."

Excellent quality (Ken Bromley Practice Paper Pack (50 sheets))

"Excellent quality for very few pence so have the freedom to practice without worrying about the cost."

Practice paper (Ken Bromley Practice Paper Pack (50 sheets))

"Perfect paper for purpose, would recommend!"

Affordable (Ken Bromley Practice Paper Pack (50 sheets))

"Just what I need to make progress, good quality at an affordable price!"

Great quality (Ken Bromley Practice Paper Pack (50 sheets))

"Great quality paper, great price for what you are getting."

As advertised (Ken Bromley Practice Paper Pack (50 sheets))

"I needed some watercolour paper to both practice on and to test colour mixes etc and this paper is ideal for that puropse. Just as advertised."

Good value (Ken Bromley Practice Paper Pack (50 sheets))

"I Make this available to students at art class and they find it very good. Would it be possible to stock a 100 pack so I can keep the price low for individual sheets for students?"

I would highly recommend it

"Was given a sample pack to try. It is very good paper, I now use it for all my students and they like it and find it very forgiving. Have experimented with it ie. wet on dry and really wet into wet with lots of success. Anyone thinking of having a go with water colours I would highly recommend it."

I liked the paper (Ken Bromley Practice Paper Pack (50 sheets))

"I thought this was good value and good quality I used it for callligraphy"
