They Say ‘That Once You Use It, You’ll Never Go Back!’ Arches Watercolour Paper
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!

A Delight To The Eye
Things That Attract My Eye – Part 16
The three images in this post have one thing in common.
They were all taken through the windows of our car. The first one was taken en route to my BNI Business Breakfast meeting; and the second and third, taken yesterday on our way home from Bathurst.
Yes, there is some dirt on the windows evident, but with all three images, I am still glad I took them.



What attracted me to all three? Light, colour and contrast.
Till next time!
