Has anyone had problems with Strathmore watercolor card stock from Amazon? I buy 100 cards at a time. The last box was very “dimpled” and my latest batch has no texture at all. As soon as I apply a wet brush it soaks in and I can barely move the color around. I like to send little pieces of art to my friends and this is very frustrating.

It sounds like you got the wrong ones. I’d return them or contact the seller because there might have been a factory or warehouse mixup.
