The BAOHONG Artist 100% Cotton Acid-Free Cold Press Watercolor Paper (300gsm) is a step up from the Academy series, offering greater strength and durability. Its robust surface handles scrubbing, lifting, and heavy wet applications with ease—resisting buckling and feathering even under demanding techniques.
100% Cotton Paper: This paper is made entirely from cotton, offering superior texture and water absorption compared to wood pulp paper commonly found in budget watercolor pads. Cotton paper allows for better washes and smoother color blending.

Acid-Free Paper: The acid-free characteristic ensures your artwork's longevity by preventing deterioration over time, keeping your creations vibrant for years to come.

Cold Press Surface: Cold press watercolor paper has a slightly textured surface that offers a good balance between smooth and rough watercolor paper.

This texture allows for:
Creating detailed washes: The texture helps hold onto pigment and create smooth transitions.

Maintaining some brushstroke texture: The subtle texture allows some brushstroke visibility, adding a touch of artistic character.

300gsm Weight: This heavyweight paper can withstand multiple washes and various techniques without warping or buckling. It's a good choice for wet-on-wet techniques and layering.

BAOHONG Academy 100% Cotton Acid Free Cold Press Watercolor Pad 300gsm appears to be a well-made and versatile option for watercolor artists. The 100% cotton paper, cold press surface, and heavyweight construction make it suitable for both beginners and experienced artists who want to create long-lasting artwork with beautiful washes and some visible brushwork texture.
