Flower Studies on Watercolor Paper

Arches 140 lb. WC CP

Lanaquarelle 140 lb.WC Smooth Side

 

 Through the years working with various media, I have learned that you cannot economize on some things and expect quality results.  Quality Paper is an absolute necessity when working with watercolor. I work on 140 lb. or 300 lb. paper. Brands I prefer are Arches and Lanaquarelle.  I like 140 lb. paper because it is heavy enough to work without stretching and it dries faster than 300 lb.  I will be discussing various papers and how they perform in my upcoming workshop, June 24,25,26
