Baohong Watercolor Block : Academy Versus Artists' Grade | Review And Comparison
I got curious on what's the difference between the student and professional grade of watercolor blocks from Baohong so I decided to do a side by side comparison on this video.

i always wondered how youtube artists did their work so effortlessly until I finally bought cotton watercolor. anyone should at least try it once before they hang up their hat with watercolor, it really can't be beat and makes it much easier to get beautiful art.

True 🥰🥰
The Academy surface is "machine made," while the Pro surface is "mold made." That accounts for the pattern on the lower grade. Beyond mold made is "hand made." Those are usually even more expensive. Twinrocker and Indigo are examples of handmade paper.

Hi Reynald!! Thank you so much for this comparison! To be honest, while the video was loading I looked at the number of views and likes and I was prepared for a video with low production quality, poor techniques/practices or unscripted ramblings. One of those videos in which I have to fight against the person who did the video to get the information I am looking for. But wow! Nothing to do with reality! I am sorry for having judged without knowing. I was surprised at the clarity of your video, the editing, the audio, and the way you presented the information. I am super grateful to you for taking the efforts necessary to produce quality content. I think it is only a matter of time before your channel grows like crazy. Wish you the best!!!

Thanks for the review. I've bought some Artist grade paper. It hasn't arrived yet, but I 'spose I should have checked reviews before purchasing, but I feel I have made the correct choice. I loved the way you did the video. Many have too much chatter, so I never finish them. You spoke what was needed, when it was needed, and didn't waste everyone's time with nothingness. Great job. Loved it all. 😊
Thank you. I appreciate the unbiased review.

Thabks for reviewing this. Helped me choose baohoan academy as my main watercolor paper as compared to other more known brsnds these offer 20 sheets with oure cotton paper. Having it on a block was also a plus as loose sheet needs to be stretched to avoid buckling

Salamat Reynald! Been using the Artist grade of baohong (because it is really comparable to Arches but a lot cheaper) and someone commented on facebook if I faced 'sizing' with Baohong. Told her nope and I think the one she pertains w/ sizing problem is present with Academy grade (those 'baby powder' effect and the lack of movement w/ watercolor). So I guess I will not try the academy anymore to test and see the difference. Appreciate your review! 😀

Thank you for this review. But Which one do you think is better between the 2 coming fr a professional artist point of view. I have both but I work more on the academy. It seems like it’s more workable than the artist grade. But I need to know your point of view. Thank you
Could somebody summarize the differences between the two papers in writing, please?
Fabriano artistico is my favorite.....
I once bought from another online store. One cold pressed, one hot pressed. But I felt really down when the parcels arrived. I received a candy and a rag. I already paid for it through g cash. But thank God 😊 I got my refund. I spent around three thousand for both. I still feel traumatized with what happened. I am so vigilant now when buying online. I hope bookstores and artshops sell baohong watercolour paper. I am reluctant to purchase again online. I felt really disappointed with those online sellers. They are scammers! I hope the rests are not.

Regardless of what grade, using 100% cotton is waaaaaaay better than using ordinary cellulose paper. If money isn't an issue then go for the professional grade but for me personally using the student grade is sufficient enough :). Thank you for watching my video.
I have the Artist Cold Press, and I hate it. It feels more like Rough than Cold Press...
I’m a complete beginner so the academy does it for me so far I us even cheaper for practice
Am I d only one who doesn't get used to the academy grade? I find it hard to paint on. Just my preference.
Thank you brother. For some weird reason I cant buy them in regular art stores here in south carolina. Tapos yung arches sobrang mahal nmn for beginner. I bought the sample pack 5x7 few weeks ago online. The first two were artist grade. Without me knowing that there was an artist grade and academy, but it was really vibrant. Tas when i was using na yung sa student grade i can see the difference. Though I already purchased the academy grade 15x10. I will sure use them first then will buy the artist grade next time. Thanks for this review, more power to your channel.

Maraming salamat po... :) I've seen more than a couple videos na sabi hirap daw mahanap tong brand na to dyan, parang accessible sa asia lang kasi made in china haha. Pero sulit na sulit talaga first try ko lang sa 100% cotton tas satisfied na ako sa brand na to. Itatry ko din yong Arches pagsanay at ensayado na hehe.

@@see_rencio actually, masmahal yung Arto.. Arto has 10 sheets while Baohong has 20, but then again it can be the same grade as the Baohong Artist, making it much better and almsot the same price as that. I'll be waiting for your review, tho I think I'll stick to Baohong till I can move on to better brands like Arches, Saunders Waterford etc 😅
What sizes are available in blocks and what sizes are available in sheets? Where can they be purchased in California, USA? I am interested in 100% cotton professional quality only.
