- Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2023Size: 18x24Color: SmoothProduct Packaging: 50 SheetsVerified PurchaseThis paper is required for Watts Atelier charcoal drawing classes. It's ok. You need to draw lightly at first, if you think you're going to erase alot later. Too hard and you'll have a problem getting the charcoal entirely off. Overall, I like it. You can get quite a few practice drawings on per page and you dont feel bad about "wasting " paper.

Size: 18x24Color: RoughProduct Packaging: 100 SheetsVerified PurchaseThis thing is HUGE, enough to fill an entire page with lots of doodles from Life Drawing Class. The best part is that it has lots of pages as promise in the description, and you can get to keep the gigantic box that comes with it XD
