## Description

Bee Paper 100% Rag 140# Cold Press Watercolor Paper Pack, 6-Inch by 9-Inch, 50 Sheets per Pack

Review: Excellent value, good cotton wc paper with soft press texture - I really like this paper. As with most brands of professional art supplies, it is worthwhile to test things out before leaping right into an important projects. It is rare to find two like items by two different brands that act exactly the same. This paper does not behave like Arches, or any other pro watercolor paper that I’ve tried. I think the other reviewers have been pretty spot on: both positive and negative. It just remains to be seen if any given artist can make the most of its advantages, while minimizing problems by heading them off at the pass. For example, plot out a color strategy before you begin, start with light washes of color and keep a Kleenex and clean water handy. That being said, I’ve achieved some breathtakingly beautiful glazes on this paper. For me, the good aspects far outweigh any negatives. Regarding the reviewer who mentioned that the sizing is different on each side: keep the paper with the wrapper/ label on for storage, and I would paint on the side that is closest to the label. Once you get to know the paper better, you may find that the side that has a satiny finish is the nicer side to paint on. I wasn’t sure what I would think about the 6 x 9” size, but I love it. This paper is kept handy and I reach for it often, because it is inexpensive enough and of a good size that it isn’t too precious for me to use for virtually any task….be that practice, swatches, studies, or a full blown painting. It’s all good. Also have the watercolor sketchbook in a large size, and I don’t use that one as frequently. Even with its micro perforated pages, it still feels too grand for the likes of me, lol. The 6 x 9” sheets are awesome, and I’m going through them quickly.
Review: Great surface for watercolor or acrylic paintings, ONE SIDE accepts paint best. - This is my favorite watercolor paper. For people who are having problems: please note there is a FRONT and a BACK side to this paper. The back is not well "sized" meaning it will not absorb watercolors properly and the colors will look more dull and dingy on top of spreading out oddly. I hate how hard this paper is to tell which side is the correct side, but the pack I received worked very well on ONE side. This 140# version of bee paper can handle a generous wet wash of paint without pilling or overly buckling. Tape the edges and I get no buckling. Its so cheap I feel like I can practice without being scared of wasting paper. My colors look more vibrant and I can achieve better effects with the paints than I can on less quality papers. I almost said cheaper papers, but this paper is actually quite cheap and somehow still high quality. Most paper at this price point is not 100% cotton rag. I recommend it for professional and beginner alike. I especially find granulating paints in a wet wash really go wild on this paper, which is ideal for special effects. I do not use the "lifting" method for shading, and I would not recommend this paper for that. Legion's Stonehenge Aqua or Arches papers have a much more durable surface that can handle scrubbing. The bee paper is better for basic techniques and true colors with very little surprises. Sometimes other brands do weird things, like my Strathmore 500 makes colors speckle or granulate differently than my Bee paper. I've used this paper for acrylic painting with much success. I was able to use it for heavy pours of paint as well by using masking tape and adhering the paper to any firm board/panel/tray. I poured my acrylic onto it and waited for it to dry before removing the tape. Once dry it was only very slightly wavy/bent, which was easily fixed by sitting the painting under a stack of books overnight. Great versatility here for such an inexpensive paper.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these loose leaf sheets or are they in a block?**
A: These are loose leaf sheets.

**Q: Do I need to stretch it to use? or only tape it would be ok?**
A: It is always best to stretch watercolor paper under 300 lb. That being said, the 140 lb can be taped down and most wrinkling can be avoided.  If you have the time and space, stretch the paper properly.

**Q: For the 50 sheets, does it come in two seperate packages? I just recieved a delivery but I only recieced 25 sheets. :(**
A: In August of 2017 I received 2 packs of 25 each. This may have changed by now but you should certainly have been sent 50 as that is what you purchased. Contact the seller if not, or Amazon if necessary. Also don't make the mistake of thinking this will be artist grade paper, it's not. For practice or crafts / cards it's fine but will not tolerate over working and can have slight inconsistencies.

**Q: Is this paper acid free?**
A: Which papers are acid free?A. The vast majority of our artist papers are acid free, also known as Neutral pH. Recycled Newsprint and Bogus Recycled Rough Sketch are not acid free. It is the acidity in paper that causes it to discolor (often referred to as "yellowing") or become brittle over time. Raw materials that are acid free or surfaces treated to be acid free will last longer, preserving your artwork for the next generations.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid, value-priced cotton paper; the two sides not quite the same
*by N***T on October 31, 2018*

Once I learned from The Mind of Watercolor on Youtube the reasons to use cotton paper, I tried Stonehenge Aqua, which is very good (he finds it quite close to Arches, which is more expensive). But he also mentioned Bee as worth trying. What I've noticed is Bee has a nice color and texture; color similar to Stonehenge Aqua, texture of the front (more textured side) a bit less "diagonal" and in some ways I prefer that. The back is less textured and in addition behaves a bit differently. It's not a huge difference and you can definitely use both sides, but one day I painted something very similar on both sides, and on the front of the paper I didn't get a backrun, and on the back I did. Actually both sides produced very pleasing results, but there was that difference. I concluded the backside dries a bit faster and so an uneven wash or a deliberate leaving of more pigment at one "end" or charging in is more likely to make a backrun. It wasn't a huge cauliflower--just a delicate line. (I was using Ultramarine and maybe a bit of Payne's Gray). The size is perfect for folding into a nice greeting card and you can buy a hundred brown Kraft envelopes here an Amazon for under fourteen dollars. So for about fifty cents you can make someone a handpainted card. I've only used the 6 by 9 Bee. I don't think it comes in standard sized pads or blocks, but you can also buy larger sheets and cut them up. I've seen occasional flaws in the paper--a dark speck or some such--but since Bee is also a nice swatching or practice paper you can just save the flawed sheets for that. I'm helping someone take first steps and the Bee is so inexpensive that we don't mind using it, which is essential!
