This, although it says it is made for watercolor was very difficult to paint on. You definitely cannot be in a hurry and have to allow dry time between certain layers which made blending difficult. I felt like the paint would sit on it for too long before drying or being somewhat absorbed. I'm am pleased with the painting I did. It is the largest canvas I have ever painted on. I don't know if would purchase this again but I will share the painting I did.

I had a huge art show coming up and needed canvas to do my watercolor/ multimedia paintings on. These worked so well not only did they with stand the heavy saturation of watercolor paints but also paint matalic markers , super glue,and hot glue. Everything held tight .

I'm glad I slipped up and didn't read any reviews about this product or I probably would not have purchased. After I ordered it (and it had already shipped) I came back and read a few. They talked about how the canvas doesn't absorb the paint, even showed pictures of it beading up on the surface, so, of course, I believe them, have no reason to doubt them. However, my experience is totally different so maybe it's the kind/quality of watercolor paint used???? I use Winsor Newton and the canvas accepts this paint beautifully. I can't wait to paint all four of them. If there is shrinkage, I'll be disappointed, but for now, I'm very pleased.

It’s very different from watercolor paper but so sturdy. I’m learning so I did one over and over and the canvas did so well.

I do like these canvas and will likely buy more in the future due to the price and overall quality, though they did take a bit longer than other watercolor canvas for the paint to soak in. I primarily paint in watercolor and have used a multitude of canvas from various websites. I took a risk with the Amazon one and was not disappointed. It works as expected. You can buy some sawtooth hooks to screw to the back in order to hang it on a wall.

I’m very impressed with these canvases. In the photo, the top canvas is your standard canvas from Michaels that I prepped with gesso and several layers of absorbent ground to try to use it for watercolor- the bottom canvas is this Phoenix canvas with zero primer. I was skeptical when ordering these, and when you first are painting the watercolor it doesn’t look great but once the layer drys it’s fine. Will definitely be buying again!
