I have used it before and it is ok for watercolor. However it is great for graphite drawings because the smooth texture lends itself to smoother textures in the drawings. I would think it would be good for charcoal but I have not tried it. Also good for colored pencils and markers.

Reviewed in Germany on October 5, 2016

Hatte bisher nur auf Arches 300er Coldpress (rough) gearbeitet und wollte einfach mal testen, wie sich meine Aquarelle auf dem satinierten Hotpress Papier machen. Auch nicht schlecht - ein anderer Look eben, keine/kaum Oberflächenstruktur. Während ich das rauhere Coldpress Papier für Arbeiten benutze, die eher "freier" Natur sind ohne vorher großartige Skizzen vorzuzeichnen ("Loose painting style"), werde ich dieses satinierte Hotpress Papier eher für Pen & Ink Stil benutzen, also mit z.B. Tuschestiften Konturen zeichnen und diese dann mit Aquarellfarben colorieren, eben dieser typische "Illustrationscharakter". Dafür ist das Papier bestens geeignet. Tolles Papier, wellt sich so gut wie gar nicht bei viel Feuchtigkeit. Die Rundum-Leimung trägt dazu bei. Ich fragte mich beim Öffnen des Blockes übrigens, wie ich denn wohl die verleimten Blätter von dort runterbekomme (ich kenne das von anderen Aquarellblöcken, dass man irgendwo eine lose Ecke hat, von der aus man das Blatt lösen kann, hier ist das aber nicht der Fall...). Man hat auf der Aufklappseite des "Deckels" hintem im Block eine klitzkleine Stelle, die nicht mit der schwarzen Rundum-Gummierung versehen ist. Dort kann man vorsichtig mit einem Gegenstand wie etwa einem Paletten-Messer (das eben nicht scharf ist) hineinfahren und das Blatt dann vorsichtig rundherum vom Block lösen. Musste selbst erst danach googeln, weil ich die kleine freie Stelle in der Verleimung hinten gar nicht gesehen hatte :) Hatte dann ein Video dazu gefunden.
Klitzekleiner negativer Punkt ist: Am abgelösten Blatt sind rundherum immer noch kleine Spuren der schwarzen Gummierung, die man nur sehr schwer abgerubbelt bekommt...

I've usually used the cold Press paper, but decided to try the hot press. It's been great. The price was pretty good, and it arrived sooner than expected.
