At 80 lb it is not as thick as watercolour paper my usual paper of choice for pencils. The paper takes good quality coloured pencils and dry watercolour pencils well, blending is not a problem although I personally have not tried mineral spirit. It has also been a nice surface for hard pastels even though it is quite smooth. For sketching and drawing the tan background is easy on the eye.

Yes acrylics and gouache are fine. If using watercolor obviously minimum water. Love this paper.

Q: Can i remove the sheets

Hi Nicola..my daughter uses this and you can remove the sheets. The pages have a fine dotted line to remove them without leaving a spiralled edge. Hope this helps!

Q: is this a heavyweight paper to use solvent on?

No, the paper is as thin as printer paper, so I suggest you use pencil/pastel based medias. Solvent would soak through the paper.
