Yes, it features two distinct sides: one smooth finish for detailed work and one textured finish for building layers of color.

The product information states it is sold in packs of 10 sheets of 8.5" x 11" and 20 sheets of 4.25" x 5.5".

It is best suited for water-based mediums. Markers, especially alcohol-based ones, may bleed or feather due to the paper's absorbency.

While designed to resist buckling, very heavy saturation can still cause minor warping. Ensure you are not over-saturating the paper and consider using masking fluid or tape to secure the edges to your work surface before applying heavy washes.

Ensure you are using quality water-based mediums. For best results, allow layers to dry partially between applications, and experiment with both the smooth and textured sides to see how they affect pigment intensity.

Allow adequate drying time between applications. If using inks that are very reactive to water, consider using them on the smooth side for less diffusion, or apply them more sparingly.
