Artist Janice Sung reviewed Strathmore 500 Series Ready Cut Watercolor paper.

Here's what she had to say about the hot press surface:

"Marley & Max | Gouache on Strathmore 500 Series Hot Press Watercolor paper. I noticed I haven't been pushing myself very much lately with creativity and style. Sometimes I have to remind myself that's it's important to purposely find ways to challenge myself and by doing so I've explored and learned different techniques that I wouldn't have discovered otherwise 🙂

👩🏻‍🎨 More on the materials, this is actually my first time trying hot pressed watercolor paper. I'm usually drawn to cold press because I enjoy working with textured paper. However, the hot press by Strathmore isn't fully smooth and it actually has a beautiful subtle texture which I love. Overall, the quality of these papers are outstanding. I've used so many different papers that simply don't absorb paint very well, leaving the paint to just sit on the surface, but it's the complete opposite with Strathmore's. I'm so happy to have tried these and will continue to use them for my future paintings without a doubt ❤️"
