I love this paper a lot! It is a bit smoother than most cold-pressed papers, making it more friendly to detailed art and mixed media art with pens, paint markers, alcohol markers, and pencils. I LOVE how granulating paints perform on this paper too, I have yet to find another paper that encourages granulation as much as this one. Paint does lift a bit, but only if you are intentionally trying to lift paint, making it great for fixing small mistakes. Highly recommend!!
