I have used these postcards many times for watercolor, and really like them! They are fun to mail to family and friends, and travel well through the post. Another great review Teoh! Stay healthy! 🌸

Thanks a lot for the review Teoh. I was given some of these cards as a gift and they have been lying in my studio for about 18 months. You have inspired me to give start painting on them.

Thank you for the review :) I want to make my own postcards when I go on holiday and I plan on using different mediums. And you covered them all! Thanks again :)

I use these and similar cards from Arches for sketching. The small size makes them easy to carry. Instead of just sticking them in the mail I buy a folded card from Paper Source with slots cut to hold corners of the painting.. Matching envelopes available too. Makes a nice gift.

I use these and just started watercoloring using mostly line and wash and sometimes loose painting. By the time you get to the end of this little booklet, you will improve. Thank you for all the reviews you do because it heavily influences my purchasing since I am just starting.

Thank you for drawing so casually. it’s really helped me build courage to not make everything look perfect in pencil before doing anything else

[LeaGalTan]

Thank you for another inspiring video. I can't wait to give them a try.

Maybe you should mail yourself one of your painted postcards to see what it looks like after all the handling.

A hand made post card is a very thoughtful gift. Thanks for the review. :-)

FIRST COMMENT! I just bought this a couple of days ago and its coming in the mail. Thank you for your review! It definitely helped me understand the capacity of this paper.

Your reviews are dangerous !! They give me a hole in my pocket !! Hehe !! Just kidding ;-) Love all your videos :-)

Very nice product for what it's intended for... quick watercolor sketch and mail it.

Have you seen the Visual Journals? There's a 140 wt and 90 wt watercolor sketchbooks. Wonder what you thought?

I happened to test the paper in these postcards the other night. My guess is, it’s the 400 series paper. Many years ago, they used to make them out of the 500/Imperial 100% cotton! Personally I am not fond of 300 or 400 series paper - it’s sized really hard.

[theartyone]

You should of tested the cards by posting them after to see how durable they are and if they get wet do they not smudge or bleed.

[karenhabeck]

Thanks for the review. On Amazon they say this is 300 series paper.

[lmdi]

I just bought some of these at Jerrysartarma and the description was 500 Series.

Thank you for wasting a few to do this review! I'm planning to buy the Fabriano postcards, curious how they will be :)

[LightningFringe]
