Recommended for others who want to experiment
These are samples not for large paintings but for the price and to try the different varieties of paper, I was more than pleased.
I used several for small paintings which are now in a show. I would order again and would recommend it to others who want to experiment. -
Five Stars.

very good value good product -
Your sample packet was very nice with a huge selection of papers. I wish the paper size was a little bit larger to allow more testing of specific brushwork, but I really appreciate that the sample wasn’t small! Your sample packaging is very classy and looks very professional, and the inclusion of the comparison table is great!
