Great for Beginners and Professionals!

I was really impressed with the quality for the price listed. It holds color and moisture well in use, and I was able to apply other media (in my case, prismacolor pencils) well without tearing / stripping the paper. Smooth, flat-pressed layers with little to know fiber shift / pickup when used gently. I did want the paper to be slightly thicker, as in some areas I went over more than a few times, there was some warping of the page, but it was a minor note and was more due to my chosen project rather than the paper itself. If you're planning on doing a full-soak of the page or doing several full-page washes prior to adding detail, make sure that you're doing so carefully to avoid the page curling. Honestly, as long as you're expecting a little curl, it's great!
