My perfect match!! - I hate it took me so long to try the meeden cold press. It's divine and very affordable in my opinion especially considering it's 100% cotton. Im no pro but I paint as often as any pro honestly. I'm obsessed with everything watercolor but especially paper. I don't think there is a brand I haven't tried. I actually thought I found the best in the Winsor and Newton paper. I know arches is the standard and it's great but I really like a WHITE paper. Arches and Saunders are identical to me. Same feel and look. Great paper but not as smooth as like and definitely not as white. Hahnemhle (sp) is really nice but almost too smooth (I know..I'm picky). The New York Central is fantastic and about neck and neck with the Winsor and Newton for being white and a smoother cold press without being..well..hot press. I have the Meeden Hot Press and really like it but I still gravitate towards cold press. I decided to try Meeden yesterday on a whim (just so I knew I tried them all) and just finished painting on it and THIS IS THE ONE ...COLD PRESS ..smooth but not too smooth..THICK, ABSORBS, it's still got tooth...it's TRUE WHITE like the WN, NYC but this is where it rises to the top...$$$$...The price is right. Best price, best finish, Fast shipping, Beautiful finish, Great price.. Im forever faithful. If you need more texture you can use the rough grain so I can't imagine this not being preferred by most. Thank you!! Review: High quality paper, stays glued down - This paper block is amazing! I just tried it for the first time on a landscape and oh my god from the first stroke I knew it was good stuff. It’s cold press, perfectly cold press. It’s less rough then arches which I prefer and unlike all other blocks I’ve used the corners haven’t peeled off the block before I’m done painting. The glued edges are far superior to all other blocks I’ve tried. I haven’t tried removing the painting yet, I legit finished it and had to come leave this review, but I don’t mind if it’s slightly harder to remove the page so long as the pages stayed glued while working, which they do. It’s 100% cotton, acid free and seems to have a good amount of sizing. Really good stuff. Seriously, just try it. ## Features - ACID-FREE & RECYCLABLE: MEEDEN Watercolor Paper, each sheet measures 9x12",140 lb/300 grams.

I'm not going to say it as good as Arches, but it is affordable and works exactly like I think watercolor paper should work. It lifts easily, does not tear, stays wet. It is an awkward size but i like it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/571476644-meeden-watercolor-paper-block-100-cotton-watercolor-paper-pad-20](https://www.desertcart.us/products/571476644-meeden-watercolor-paper-block-100-cotton-watercolor-paper-pad-20) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-22*
