Yesterday, I just finished a watercolour painting on Arches Watercolour paper. For many years, I have heard just how great it is, and I have to say that I enjoyed using it immensely.
The main reason I hadn’t used it before is that it is one of the expensive Watercolour papers out there. At this point, the largest Watercolour paper I have used on a regular basis is A4.
I purchased a pack of A3, as the store had no packs of A4 left. It was 20% off and I cut each sheet in half as I go to use it.
The image below came from my imagination.
Materials used:
- Arches Watercolour Paper 300gsm 100% Cotton A4 Cold Pressed
- Paints: Daniel Smith; Winsor & Newton: Schminke
- Neef Watercolour brushes
I thoroughly enjoyed using this paper. As I get to use it more, I will highlight more about it. Looking forward to the next one!
