Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was extremely excited to get these and start playing with them. Had big plans. One would be andolor swathcing, one for practice, and one for journal studies. I just got through with some of the watercolor color swatching (trying to do it super neat and organized). Well the paper first dries super fast. Second, when I had to go back over with a light (light) brush of water to gradient out the colors it left very distinct ridges in my paper and when the swatch dried, it dried very splotchy. I think I would have been happier with just a Canson Mixed Media Journal, no offense. I did have high hopes for this brand as I have seen it pop into my feed for a few months now. I am pretty disappointed. You will see from my other reviews I leave honest feedback and rarely do I have low scores. As I move to some more actual practice pieces if it improves for me, I will update my review to reflect that.
