Review: Exceptional paper!! - When it comes to wet-on wet, this paper has it all.... wonderful absorbancy, hardly warps, and stays moist for 5-7 mins compared with 1-2 mins for the "value for money" papers - giving you a lot more time to work your artistic magic. If you're a beginner who's keen on landscapes and cloudscapes then this premium paper is your only hope of producing what you're looking for......use the cheaper ("100% cotton") papers by all means but for practice, still life, animals etc but don't waste your time doing wet-on-wet using "value for money papers" unless you're happy with hours of rework and inconsistent results. Cheaper papers force you to adapt your style to how they work!! I value my time too much for all that nonsense (and frustration) , so I stretch my budget to using this paper - worth every penny as it makes for a lot less stress, gives much better and more consistent results, and a far more enjoyable painting experience all round ..... Highly recommended 👍👍👍

This is a pad, which is glued on one edge. You would need to look for a block, which is glued on all four edges. 
Kind regards
