Description

Many people have been asking about watercolor paper lately and I have realized how important for every beginner is to learn how to chose, because picking the wrong watercolor paper might ruin your learning efforts. This is my attempt to write a comprehensive guide containing the most basic facts about watercolor paper, hoping this will help some of you.

:frail: Besides that, I want to say Thank you, DeviantArt , for being SO awesome and posting two of my watercolor eye tutorials on their official :facebook: page, along with the unique experience of Q&A yesterday evening. I really felt the kind of appreciation I wish for everyone's hard work to meet. ❤

With latest invention of Golden Qor Cold Pressed Watercolor Ground you can paint on virtually any surface that accepts ground. It creates cold-pressed surface, eliminates the need to stretch if used on hard surface such as wood or canvas panel and when you smooth out the ground in last layer of prepping, you can get HOT surface too. I love paper but watercolor ground made me jump the first time I used it on wood panel :XD:
