Texture was a little too coarse for me - more like Arches rough - and I had trouble getting good coverage with light washes
The paper handles multiple washes well and endures masking and erasing.
Block holds together reasonably well but did start to separate on one side toward the end of my painting . I hadn't done a lot of really wet washes so this was a little disappointing, though much better than some I have tried.
I will try the smooth next as that suits my style better. All in all I would recommend these blocks
