15 sheets of 300GSM paper, each 29.7x42cm.

How is this different from the Brustro 200GSM paper?
This pad is heavier 300GSM paper and spiral bound. The 200GSM paper comes as loose sheets and is lighter.

Does it buckle with water?
300GSM paper handles water well, and taping the edges keeps it flatter still.

Should I pick this pad or a 100% cotton watercolour pad?
This Brustro pad is 25% cotton with 15 sheets, a good step up from practice paper. The Art Essentials Artist pad is 100% cotton and holds washes wet longer for finished pieces. Pick Brustro for regular studies, pick full cotton for final work.
