Questions & Answers
Yes, but canvas isn't the same as photo paper, and the alcohol inks won't spread as easily, but you can still get some incredible results.
Yes, this is a real canvas that has already been primed. I'm pleased with the sheets, but if I come up with a design I like, I'll have to figure out how to mount it on wooden forms.
Yes, it's canvas, but it's not a particularly heavy canvas.
It's made of canvas.

I was expecting paper, but was pleasantly surprised to discover that the sheets are made of cotton canvas. I took one out and clipped it to my easel, then painted while it was still in the pad. Both methods are extremely effective. Even with multiple layers, there is no bleedthrough. I'd recommend these to anyone looking for a pad like this.
This is exactly what I was looking for: something thicker than multipurpose paint paper that could also be stored. The pages are flexible, and while they may wrinkle or bend if mashed together, they will not dent if handled with normal care. I use painter's tape to keep them in place on my painting surface, and it doesn't sag or warp even when I apply multiple layers of wet acrylic paint. When I removed them from the pad, I noticed that some of them had mild shredding around the edges, but that wasn't a problem for me because I planned to cut them down to 8X10" anyway. Because the surface is rubbery, I primed them first with a thin layer of acrylic paint, which helped the paint adhere well and prevent flaking and lifting. Advantages: br>br>

CANVAS! These aren't made of paper; instead, they're made of canvas! It was well worth the investment! As long as the price remains stable, I will continue to purchase these.
This was purchased with the intention of displaying it on a easel. It isn't ideal in this regard. It's a good-quality piece of paper. I'm not a professional by any stretch of the imagination. When the pad was propped up against an easel with the pad cover behind it, however, the top binding came apart very quickly. It was rendered useless when used against an easel because it kept falling over and slumping down. I'm not sure if it's because my easel is too small or because the pad is ineffective, but when I lay it flat - Despite the fact that it's quite large, which makes doing it on a flat surface more difficult in general - It served its purpose admirably. I took it off to make a nice display of my finished art. There is no bleed-through.
I purchased this canvas paper after being unable to obtain my regular at my local art supply store. The product does not appear to be as durable as the Frederix paper that I normally use. To give it a little more strength, I added another coat of gesso. This is an excellent practice paper, in my opinion. Personally, I'll use a higher-quality canvas paper for items I intend to sell or give as gifts.
The cost is reasonable. Color studies are done with pads like this. It'll be simple to frame the work if I like the study. The paper is usually taped to a cradled birch panel that has been painted with enamel paint. That way, if I go "outside the lines," any excess can be easily wiped away. Because the mat will cover the edge of the tape, I prefer to use a 1/4" border. I'm very pleased!.
It's made of thin material. Although it claims to be triple primed, it does not hold up to painting. When it dries, it causes the painting to ripple, ruining it. It is, however, good for inexpensive practice, such as learning your strokes and color mixing, but not for anything you want to keep.
This is an excellent product, and the canvas appears to be of sufficient quality that the finished works will be framed. However, it arrived in a white plastic shipping bag with no corner protection, resulting in severely damaged corners on both pads. I intended to return the products, but I realized I didn't have time to wait for the product to ship back and for another product to arrive, and I figured it was unlikely that I would receive a product that was packaged any better, so I had no choice but to use the damaged-corner paper. They could have been saved with just a little cardboard taped to the corners.
