Description
- Watercolor paper is usually made by one of three processes: handmade, mold-made or machine-made. Handmade is the best and mold-made comes in a close second. Both are very durable, stable and shouldn't distort under heavy wash.
- They both feature irregular surface textures which are pleasing to paint on. If you buy artists' quality paper it should be either handmade or mold-made. Students' quality paper is typically machine-made, which is cheaper, but prone to distortion and deterioration when wet.
- You might save some money with low quality paper, but you'll find that watercolor pigments do not respond well on cheap surfaces, making some techniques difficult to perform. You also don't want paper that will start disintegrating when you use rough techniques (like scrubbing). It's also important that the paper be acid-free and long-lasting.
- There are two main grades of watercolor paper: artists' quality and students' quality. Artists' quality, sometimes known as archival paper, is acid-free and designed to endure. Papers that aren't acid-free will become yellow and brittle over time. If you're a beginner or just practicing, students' quality paper is fine but the paint won't perform as well and don't expect your painting to stand up to the test of time.
- The stability and strength of this board offers excellent flatness when wet. The hard surface offers easy application of color. Ideal for all wet painting techniques: watercolor – especially wet-in-wet painting, smooth wash and also dry painting – as well as lavis, gouache, tempera and acrylic. Natural white, acid free, lightfast and extremely age resistant
