If you need a small amount of high-quality watercolor paper for just a few art projects or a few plein air sessions, this set is worth a try! It includes 7 different high-quality 100% cotton watercolor papers (2 sheets each) in a postcard format (6" x 4.5").
Few of these papers are only sold as large sheets and not available in pads or postcard formats.
Here are some pros of postcard format:
- Relatively small size for low-pressure painting. Allows to capture small scenes or generalize vast spaces without much preliminary drawing or planning a large detailed composition.
- Convenient for shorter painting sessions and plein air painting where you don't have a large setup.
- Allows using high-quality watercolor paper without committing to a whole sketchbook/pad.
- Allows you to switch among different papers and only carry a few sheets instead of heavier pads or sketchbooks (great for travel or outdoor painting).
- It's easy to get rid of unsuccessful artwork. Just recycle and move on instead of covering it up or tearing pages.
- No need to keep all artworks together in one place (e.g. in a sketchbook). Easy to display, mail, give away, or sell artworks individually.
